I have long been an admirer of DaVinci and this new piece is no exception. Except for the unsettling fact that the face reminds me of my teen age buddy Bill. (maybe it's the mustache).
Apparently the art had been re-painted, and attempts to improperly restore it had done more harm than good. A pains taking process has brought it back to some of its glory and is scheduled to be displayed in upcoming months.
Check out the full story here.
If you live anywhere within driving distance of this piece being displayed, I would say don't miss it.
Things like this find makes me wonder how many master works are floating around out there in granny's attic that are unrecognised and holding long secret stories. It's art world mysteries like this that really make the imagination stagger.
