Better look for clues, Dan Brown was illuminating hidden knowledge to us, fam. You ask how I know? Well......people were angry when he made a novel of “ fiction” you know what fiction rhymes with? Depiction ....... & also it rhymes with benediction,jurisdiction &........I think that’s it. Basically it’s hard to rhyme with anything else. You try it.....you see? You are close to choosing words that are half made up. 😒😒😒

If it’s fr9m the 16th century, thats your first clue. Mm hmm, chalk, why red chalk? You sure it’s chalk? ...... if you didn’t have chalk, you would have to use......other substances. 😳

They say the beard pattern is very similar to another self portrait:

“newly discovered chalk drawing of Jesus Christ with striking similarities to the Mona Lisa is believed to be a previously unknown work by Leonardo da Vinci.

Italian researchers, who found the work hidden away for centuries in a private collection, claim that the chalk drawing is almost certainly the work of the Renaissance master.

Italian researchers have found a previously unseen sketch of Christ (pictured) that they believe to be the work of Leonardo da Vinci, the master painter who was also behind The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper

Their claim will provoke intense scrutiny from the art world due to the potential significance of the discovery.

'It is a remarkably beautiful and refined work and I'm absolutely convinced it is a sketch by Leonardo,' Italian art historian Annalisa Di Maria, who has studied the picture, told The Daily Telegraph.

Laboratory testing done on the paper on which it is drawn has dated it back to the early 16th century, she said. “

Born in 1452 in the Italian town of Vinci, Leonardo painted The Last Supper from 1495-1498, and the Mona Lisa between 1502 - 1516 (with some sources disagreeing on when the painting - which is now in the Louvre in Paris - was completed.

In 1516, he moved to France to work for King Francis I, and died there in 1519. There are only a handful of surviving paintings by the artist.

'There are lots of elements – the posture of Christ is typical of Leonardo, who rarely drew figures front-on but from an angle, so that they were facing the viewer from a three-quarters perspective,' said Ms Di Maria.

She drew particular attention to the beard, saying that it is practically identical to Leonardo's self portraits. The same goes for the eyes, she said.

The fact that the painting is in red chalk - a medium often used by da Vinci, including in the sketches of the last supper - was another indicator that it could be one of his, Di Maria added.

Di Maria said the beard in the newly discovered sketch is similar to that in this sketch, believed to be a self portrait by da Vinci, also done in red chalk

The sketch is currently in the possession of two collectors from the northern Italian town of Lecco, who themselves acquired it from a private collection, the historian said.

It is not currently clear where the artwork had been kept all these years, nor is it confirmed that it is an authentic piece of work by Leonardo.

The discovery was announced by the Leonardo da Vinci International Committee.

The group said in a press release that 60 page 'research study conducted will be presented in a conference in Florence shortly, as soon as the emergency ends and it will be possible to hold conferences and meetings again'

Emeritus Professor in the History of Art at Oxford University, Martin Kemp, who is one of the word's leading experts on the life and works of Leonardo da Vincim was more cautious than about attributing the sketch to the artist.

'I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand but I simply can't tell without seeing the drawing and the scientific evidence,' he told The Telegraph. 'I would need to see if it is drawn left-handed. Leonardo drew everything with his left hand.'

He said that the dating of the paper would also need to be scrutinised by independent experts, and that there was a possibility that the drawing had been produced by a member of da Vinci's art school.

If this is a counterfeit, I have to tip my hat to the dedication to this con. 😎Martin Kemp is a buzzkill. Just say it’s Leo D. You Dan brown hater. His student used red chalk? You are just mad you didn’t discover it, Marty. 😒

crazy

y he look like if i dont say bless u to him at school he'll pull an ak

So funny XD

Getting this tatted

da vinky 👁👄👁

I just talked to Jesus, he said what up Yeezus

u felt that 1 personally ?

I’m Spanish we don’t do that

Da Vinci drawing other men

Da Vinci was Jesus confirmed

That ain't no Jesus

West >>>

Newly discovered Da Vinci

new davinci dropped before carti

crazy

It is funny you say that. The art historian I suspect immediately assumed it was Jesus. What’s even crazier is everyone in the room probably said “ it is Jesus”

If you do a close up, there’s nothing else to go by. How do you know it’s Jesus? You can’t see his sandals, there’s no throne. His gang ain’t around him.

It makes more sense to say he wanted a portrait of himself at that age.

I wouldn’t be surprised if these researchers worked at the Vatican.

Vatican has so much they don't want uncovered

Brehs.. Davinci top 5 in the game rn?

Dan brown made them angry, Tom Hanks made their blood boil. They probably are going to have Vatican ninjas steal the sketch. Getting away on Vespa scooters & Italian ingenunity. 😳

I love @AudioConsulting
