More to illustrate the respective limits of art and science, researchers in the Netherlands (what's with the Dutch, lately?) have determined that Mona Lisa's smile is "83% happy."
From the text by Toby Sterling: "...the researchers scanned a reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece and subjected it to cutting-edge 'emotion recognition' software, developed in collaboration with the University of Illinois. The result showed the painting's famous subject was 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful and 2 percent angry. She was less than 1 percent neutral, and not at all surprised."
Neither am I.
