Scientists have pried another secret from the Mona Lisa that shines a light on the techniques used by Leonardo da Vinci to create her exquisitely enigmatic smile.

Using X-rays to peer into the chemical structure of a speck of the celebrated work of art, scientists suggest that the Italian Renaissance master may have been in a particularly experimental mood when he set to work on the Mona Lisa early in the 16th century.

Mr Gonzalez has studied the chemical compositions of dozens of works by Da Vinci, Rembrandt and other artists. Finding plumbonacrite in the Mona Lisa attests"to Leonardo’s spirit of passionate and constant experimentation as a painter – it is what renders him timeless and modern," Ms Bambach said. Plumbonacrite is a by-product of lead oxide, allowing the researchers to say with more certainty that Leonardo da Vinci likely used the powder in his paint recipe.

Mr Gonzalez added:"It tells us also that those recipes were passed on for centuries. It was a very good recipe."
