The real Da Vinci code hidden in the Mona Lisa

The intrigue generally focuses on his enigmatic smile.But the Mona Lisa is at the center of a new mystery after researchers dedicated a new look to the painting, and noticed something in their eyes.

The true code Da Vinci hidden in the Mona Lisa

Hidden in the dark painting are tiny letters and numbers, placed there by the artist Leonardo da Vinci and revealed only now thanks to the techniques of great increase. Historians in Italy have discovered that by increasing the eyes of the Mona Lisa, the painting shows tiny numbers and letters that can be seen under the microscope .Experts say the letters and numbers are barely distinguishable, and represent a kind of real-life code from Da Vinci.

The revelation could have come straight from the pages of Dan Brown's bestseller, The Da Vinci Code, in which it is said that the Mona Lisa contains hidden clues about the Holy Grail .Silvano Vicenti, president of the National Committee of Italy for cultural heritage, which found the symbols, said: «At first glance the symbols are not visible, but with a magnifying glass that can be clearly seen.

The eye Right seems to hide the letters that could well refer to his name, Leonardo da Vinci, while in the left eye there are also symbols but not as defined.We must remember that the image is almost 500 years old, so it is not as clear and clear as when it was painted.But from the preliminary investigations that have been carried out, they have reached the conclusion of that is not a mistake, but that they were put there by the artist.

The real Da Vinci code hidden in the Mona Lisa

The search was started by another element worthy of Dan Brown's plot, when another member of the committee discovered a book in an antique shop that referred to the eye symbols of the Mona Lisa. Da Vinci put a special emphasis on the Mona Lisa and it is known that in the last years of his life he carried the painting with him everywhere.Also that da Vinci was very esoteric and used symbols in his work.

Now a group is requesting permission to exhume the remains of da Vinci from his tomb in the castle of Amboise in The Loire Valley, in France.They want to see if the artist's skull is there so they can try to recreate his face and establish if the Mona Lisa, owned by the French government and on display at the Louvre, is in fact a twisted self-portrait of the artist as some believe.
