A new study indicates that contrary to previous beliefs the Mona Lisa is not looking directly at the viewer (Credit: CITEC/ Bielefeld University)

The eyes of Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic Mona Lisa have long been thought to follow viewers around the gallery of the Louvre Museum in Paris where it is exhibited, as well as those looking at photographs and reproductions of the famous painting. Now, researchers from Germany's Bielefeld University assert that while “The Mona Lisa Effect” – the impression that the eyes of the subject in a portrait are following the viewer – is real, it is not true for its namesake painting.

            I went to the louvre mueseum before, and saw the picture. The eyes were creepy. When I was looking at another picture 3 feet away,she was staring at me. Trust me,not all painting are safe

                  Why is Mona Lisa creepy to me? Anyone else relieved that Mona Lisa is NOT actually looking at you?

                    I agree. What does she like so much to be this way?
