Here’s What Mona Lisa Would Look Like If Painted Today

Aug 2 2023

We’ve all seen, at least images of, the famed painting ‘Mona Lisa’, painted by Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci and currently sitting in the Louvre Museum.

As the era of artificial intelligence picks up steam, the iconic painting has received the reimagining treatment as well – showing how the woman, famed for her fixed gaze at the observer, would look like if painted today.

The modern Mona Lisa – or at least, what AI thinks she would look like – was shared onto Twitter and other social media platforms. And it caused quite the stir.

Some highlighted how the new depiction reveals the current biases of artificial intelligence, saying it is pandering to the male gaze.

Others said that whilst, yes, the image is a rather funny illustration of AI bias, ‘real art challenges or re-contextualises – it is an act of original thought. Most AI tools can only please. They cannot subvert or invent unless so programmed.

The depiction was created by Gianpaolo Rosa, who also acknowledged the sexualization of the Da Vinci painting as problematic and sad. This, he said, could open up dialogue about how we perceive both art and women.
