Is the Gioconda the Mona Lisa ?

The official hypothesis is that the person portrayed is Mona Lisa Gherardini wife of Franscesco del Giocondo. It was built on old outdated documents, interpretations and speculations. It carried a certain logic that allowed to fix only an recipient, a function, and a name. But it does not take into account the discovery of the hidden portrait with a Florentine dress I made in 2015. This incredible discovery was confirmed in 2019 by an image from the Louvre of copper xray mapping. This, then, defined : a formal portrait for a social status in the city of Florence in 1503. It is clear that the transformation of the portrait after 1513 is not an "evolution" of the portrait, as Leonardo might have done, but a radical change. Leonardo changes the recipient, the genre and the function of the portrait. He makes the Florentine dress disappear, to make Lisa Gherardini totally disappear, with her social status, the city, and the year. The portrait becomes timeless. The Gioconda, is no longer Mona Lisa.

The character we see in the famous portrait at the Louvre is not that of Lisa del Giocondo or Mona Lisa, but that of Isabella of Aragon and Sforza, the daughter of the King of Naples Alfonso II of Aragon. Isabella married her cousin Gian Galeazzo Sforza, the heir to the Duchy of Milan, to strengthen ties between the Kingdom of Naples and the Duchy of Milan. Leonardo da Vinci was at that time in the service of Ludovico Sforza, Gian Galeazzo's uncle who was regent at the court of Milan. Isabella's young husband died prematurely at the age of 25 without having been able to exercise power, said to have been assassinated on his uncle's orders.
The German historian Maike Vogt-Luerssen tells us that after her widowhood, Isabella and Leonardo formed a secret couple and had 5 children. So it is the portrait of his beloved that Leonardo da Vinci made, which explains why he took it to Amboise in France and kept it until the end of his life, as we keep a family photo nowadays. So there was an emotional bond with Isabella that did not exist with Lisa del Giocondo whose portrait was just a commission. The research I have done myself on the landscape indicates that it is based on an authentic place, which would confirm Maike Vogt-Luerssen's theory, as it probably pays tribute to Isabella of Aragon's family origins.
It seems obvious to me that the identity of the character in this portrait has been confused between an order actually received, that of the silk merchant's wife, and the portrait of Leonardo's companion which is the one we see today at the Louvre. All of this is probably well known today to the so-called specialists of Leonardo da Vinci, who do not want to recognize the inconsistencies of the official version, because they have spent their whole life defending a version they know today is outdated. As Mark Twain said, "It's easier to fool people than to convince them they've been fooled".
