The world's most famous painting has now been created on the world's smallest canvas. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have "painted" the Mona Lisa on a substrate surface approximately 30 microns in width -- or one-third the width of a human hair. The team's creation, the "Mini Lisa," demonstrates a technique that could potentially be used to achieve nanomanufacturing of devices because the team was able to vary the surface concentration of molecules on such short-length scales.
The Mini Mona Lisa is a small version of the famous painting created by Leonardo da Vinci in the 16th century. It is a replica of the original painting, but on a much smaller scale.
The Mini Mona Lisa is only 3 inches by 5 inches in size, making it one of the smallest versions of the painting ever created.
The Mini Mona Lisa was created by the French artist and inventor, Marcel Duchamp, in 1965. He recreated the painting using a special process called "micro-painting" which allowed him to recreate the painting on a much smaller scale.
No, the Mini Mona Lisa is not considered to be an original artwork. It is a replica of the famous painting created by Leonardo da Vinci, but on a smaller scale. However, it is still highly valued by art collectors and enthusiasts for its unique size and craftsmanship.
There are only four known Mini Mona Lisas in existence, all of which were created by Marcel Duchamp. Two are currently on display in museums, while the other two are in private collections.
