Al Sydnor, at right, examines a magnified version of Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa," including the eyes and the famous smile, in the "Da Vinci: Exhibition of Genius" exhibit at the Metreon in San Francisco, Friday, Oct. 19, 2007. The exhibit showcases the work of French engineer Pascal Cotte, who was allowed to photograph the original masterpiece and has broken it down to various versions; including an infrared image, an image with and without the varnish and a depiction of what the painting might have looked like when it was first finished by Da Vinci.
