      The sad part is that even if someone who is not associated with the circles would find out with 100% certainty, he would still not be able to convince people about it. The painting would have to end up in some mid/level art fanatic's hand before people can actually research the particular painting-

      500 years is a long time, and careless edits made to the painting made it seem fake. I'm not saying certainly that it's genuine or fake, but it is plausible based on that story that it's genuine. The painting disappeared in 1763 - with such a large window of uncertainty a lot of things could have happened to it. Heck, it could be that this painting is a fake - and that the real thing was destroyed 200 years ago.

If you want to know what Jesus really looked like look at the illustrations from Jehovah’s witnesses or the painting of Jesus done by Akiane. They have the more accurate depiction.

      Imagine that moment working on it. As an artist, someone who for the sake of their work effectively needs to put themselves in the feet of the original artist for the sake of restoration...suddenly realize she's sharing the same canvas with who's considered one of the best painters of all time?

    They didn't just invite in da Vinci experts to look at the painting and say that it was. Once they saw what was underneath the overpainting, science came to the forefront. Carbon dating of a small sample from the original paint would give them evidence of age. The paint sample would also be chemically analyzed to see if it matched that of other da Vinci paintings. Each artist has a particular style of brushstrokes, which experts would already be very familiar with.

      Most of the time when very old paintings are suddenly "found" there is a lot of skepticism. Just because they didn't show experts testing the painting, comparing previous works to it, style/color, etc. Doesn't mean it didn't happen. A painting like this doesn't just show up and NOT get tested. It was being sold as a copy anyway, (and having been repainted) which is some more proof that someone didn't just paint this and try to pass it of as an original Leo.

    Dianne Dwyer Modestini comments reminded me, if I may say something and many may have noticed. Some of these great Master painter's pieces gives off an energy that can be literally felt. This happened to me a few times over the years and once to my husband with the Monet in the Musée d'Orsay and then again to a friend I took to Ringling Museum. It was the Peter Paul Rubens room, it even quieted our toddlers. So when Ms. Modestini says oh yes this was the real thing, I think I understand what she meant.

      Read this on an article, thought I'd share: “Leonardo has worked on the painting, [and] I think that's important to recognize," Landrus says in his interview with Holland and Prisco of CNN. "We tend to think in black and white-one or the other, when it comes to attribution, but that's definitely not the tradition. The tradition was to get help from the studio.” I, personally, don't think it should matter how much percent of it he did, all that matters is that he contributed one way or another. It's connected to Leonardo, regardless.

    8. Have the dodgy 2nd repair removed, 'discover' more former damage, and have more 'feelings', asking experts for their opinion.

The most powerful thing that exists in this realm. I know that my pain is the distilled story of sacrifice in a million ancestors, the iron in my blood the distilled magnificence of the sacrifice of an immense sun which shone for billions of years in the cold void of space, and the emotions I feel now are no different-they speak of eternity. Every artist is a portal to ultimate meaning which, like the Tao, and the sun, shines through its immensity defying our words. To have a sun as an ancestor which runs red in my veins, and the birth of the universe speaking in the beating of my shining heart. This is what it means to be human. To know you are loved and to love. Thank you Leonardo.

    I have seen Il cenacolo of Leonardo many years ago.
    I was with my wife.
    We were astonished.
    For 15 minutes we couldn't speak. Completely speechless. Completely thoughtless.
    But the strange thing is that this silence started at the same time and finished at the same time.
    So it happened the same thing to me and my wife and we didn't know.

    Imagine what DaVinci would say if he could witness how much the world would come to treasure his work.
    Such a humble beginnings which amounts to such prestigiousness. We don’t have anyone that can even come close to that these days sadly.
    A massive stature as DaVinci expressing his genius and yet some ppl in the 21st century still bickering whether or not a god exists... All the proof has always been here all along imho.
    The beauty of the Mundi is that a lot of ppl who previously had it all missed the opportunity on it’s real beauty/value.
    From what close to trash to literally treasure.
    And this is but a tangible thing one man has created, imagine how much the maestro himself would fetch.

      Ainsley B Ainsley B Yeah, I think the issue with the Saudi’s Louvre Museum appears to be based around the fact that it’s been OVER-restored; as in, they’ve got it now, it’s been assessed by their experts and they’re like ‘What the f***, this isn’t what we were expecting!’ and they’re refusing to exhibit it. But as it’s their property now, they’re not obliged to divulge its condition or whereabouts and these guys are freaking out!

      I think this painting was purposely destroyed. Its main purpose was to serve as a front for money laundering between a Russian oligarch and the Saudis. It wasn't a Leonardo, just a recent copy so there isn't much of a cultural loss. Its easy to doubt my claims, but just start to look at the ridiculousness of this story in its totality.

      A front view is referred to as a 2/3 view, rarely, if ever a profile. And Da Vinci initiated that perspective. The Mona Lisa? Where have you been? Prior to the Mona Lisa, a full front facing portrait was rarely if ever seen.
