Artist finds animals hidden in Mona Lisa

Ron Piccirillo, 37, says he found the heads of a lion, an ape and a buffalo hovering near the head of Leonardo da Vinci's iconic creation after turning the painting on its side.

He also discovered what looked like a crocodile or snake coming out of the left-hand side of her body.

Ron, a painter and graphic designer, made his discoveries after following instructions laid out in da Vinci's journals.

And he claims the painting is a representation of envy — one of the seven deadly sins.

Ron's theory follows dozens about the lady with the enigmatic smile — finished around 1519 — and will be extremely controversial among art critics.
