MASTERPIECE MYSTERY Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘earliest painting discovered’ after 600 years by eagle-eyed
« on: June 22, 2018, 05:41:02 pm »


Da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452, meaning the the Renaissance genius would have been around 18 if the painting is his.
It was painted on a majolica glazed tile, a popular art form in Europe in the 15th Century, according to the Telegraph.

The signature itself was too small to make out without being magnified and apparently became smudged when the clay was baked.

Art historian Professor Ernesto Solari, who announced the discovery in Rome, said: "The protocol of the time was not to sign majolicas like this.

I love this stuff. A painting is just a painting until it's found to have been painted by a famous painter. Then it's a masterpiece.

But masterpieces sell for much more on the auction market. It's a Da Vinci!?! OMG OMG OMG OMG! Here's my money!

One of the leading "intrigue" international spy authors, had a male lead character that was a "restoration" expert, lived in England, when not out doing his anti-terrorism assignment.

It will be fun to see what this one sells for if it ever hits the market. The last one sold for a half billion dollars.

Daniel Silva, spy author, uses "Gabriel Allon" as a male lead, and a painting restoration expert.

It's been with it's current owners family for 400 years so I don't think it is going on the market anytime soon. Plus it is not certain that it is a de Vinci.
