Was Mona really da Vinci? Computer sees mirror image of Leonardo hold on the public imagination the strange pose, the suggestion of a smile, the fantastic landscape in the background. Da Vinci finished it in 1504 and carried it with him from Florence to Milan to Rome to France, where he died in 1519. The magazine said it was only 30 years after Leonardo's death that the painting was connected with Mona Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo.

and that identification was based on rumor and hearsay. The inventor-engineer-scientist-artist was most likely a homosexual and, like many of his contemporaries, favored androgynous subjects, the magazine said. If Mona Lisa was a self-portrait, it would account for a lack of sketches and the lack of identifying Jewelry on the model. Strong, who has written about da Vinci, agreed that "it has not been pinned down to everyone's satisfaction as to why the Mona Lisa was painted or for whom it was painted." But Strong says Renaissance artists were not 20th century artists they did not paint with-, out a commission or patron. In fact, said Strong, da Vinci cautioned several times in his notebooks that an artist has a tendency to make his subjects look like the artist "to make everyone look like the artist's brother, or in this case his sister." By JERRY SCHWARTZ ASSOCIATED PRESS New York Was Leonardo da Vinci himself the model for his mysterious Mona Lisa, as a computer researcher claims? Color art experts skeptical.

"This theory seems very mysterious to me. I don't really understand it. I'd have to see the research for myself," said French art critic Pierre Daix. "However, a painter's works somehow always resemble the painter himself." "My immediate reaction is that it's pretty farfetched, but I always keep an open mind," said Douglas Strong, a professor of art history at California State University at Northridge. At issue was the work of Lillian Schwartz, a researcher at Bell Laboratories who used a computer to compare the Mona Lisa with a red chalk self-portrait of Leonardo, the only self-portrait that survives.

According to Art Antiques magazine. Ms. Schwartz matched the eyes, hairlines, cheeks and noses of the two portraits, and found them to be identical. The distance between the inner corners of the eyes, for example, was less than 2 percent, according to the magazine. The painting always has exercised a powerful planned to attend, along with other family members.

Reports say Sakharov's exile will end with return to Moscow ASSOCIATED PRESS New York Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov will soon be released from internal exile In the closed city of Gorky and allowed to move back to according to broadcast reports Thursday.

Sources inside and outside the Reagan administration said the 65-year-old physicist and Nobel laureate was expected to be permitted to return to Moscow, NBC News reported. The report said there was no indication when this would happen or what prompted the Soviet decision. A CBS News report said an announcement of Sakharov's release from internal exile to Gorky. 250 miles east of Moscow, was expected today. A White House spokesman, Ben Jarratt.

said he would have no comment on the report, and there would be none "until Sakharov was released." Sakharov's stepdaughter, be closer to good hospitals for treatment of their ailments. Joshua Rubenstein, New England director of Amnesty International, a friend of the Yankelevich family and author of a book on Soviet dissidents, urged caution in assessing the reports. "Sakharov has a dacha (vacation home) in Zhukova. 20 to 30 miles from Moscow," said Rubenstein. "If they put him there, it would more or less be true that he would be as much in exile as he was In Gorky, but it would be a lot easier for the Soviets from a public-relations point of view.

"His Moscow apartment Is in the center of the city, and it would be very hard to control him. They couldn't do it, without doing it in a very obvious way. It's a place where you could go and take a picture every day." In October, Sakharov's son-in-law, Efrem Yankelevich, said Sakharov's memoirs had been smuggled to the West and were being readied for publication. who lives in Newton, said Thursday night that the family in the United States knew nothing about the broadcast reports. Sakharov, once a leading physicist in the Soviet Union, won the 1975 Nobel Peace Prize for his work on behalf of human rights.

He was arrested after criticizing the 1979 Soviet intervention in Afghanistan, and was exiled in January 1980. In 1983 his wife, Yelena Bonner, was sent to Gorky, which Is closed to Westerners. Sakharov went on several hunger strikes seeking permission for Mrs. Bonner to visit the United States and Italy for medical treatment. Mrs.

Bonner spent six months in the West beginning in December 1985 to undergo eye and heart operations, and returned to Gorky in June. Tatyana Yankelevich, Mrs. Bonner's daughter, said that if the CBS and NBC reports were true, her parents would appreciate the move because they would sisters.
