00:00If someone tried to examine the Mona Lisa in high magnification, so that the eye takes up the entire screen or lips, then you froze in complete bewilderment, because it is impossible to find a single stroke, even the tiniest.
00:23Moreover, when researchers made an X-ray of the Mona Lisa, they also did not see a single stroke.
00:33But they found something unimaginable 30 thin layers of paint. You can't even imagine how thin, 1 micrometer. For comparison, the diameter of a human hair is 80 micrometers.
00:52It turned out that there are strokes there, but each stroke is 1 40th of a millimeter long.
01:00Leonardo, using a magnifying glass, applied a network of such micro strokes with a brush,
01:10and then applied a layer of the thinnest paint, and so 30 times, a layer of strokes, a layer of paint.
