Leonardo da Vinci would have loved this!
A fascinating tale of art history detection is unfolding in Florence, where a lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci has been discovered through a combination of luck and high-tech ultramodern techniques. Leonardo, a true Renaissance man who combined a mastery of art with creating inventions that were well ahead of their time, would certainly be fascinated by the story—and by the fact that his masterpiece may well have stood the test of time better than anyone could have guessed. Pictures, diagrams, and discussion can be found on the New York Times blog by John Tierney, TierneyLab.
