Centuries have passed since Leonardo da Vinci lived and created his masterpieces but it seems that new findings will continue to confuse art experts. Recently researchers in Italy discovered the portrait of a noblewoman, Isabella D Este. Art experts think that it was made by Leonardo da Vinci and has been lost for 500 years. It is surprising that the woman in this picture has the same mysterious smile as his well-known Mona Lisa. B. It is known from historical documents that in late 1499 when the French army headed to Milan to conquer the city, Leonardo da Vinci together with other citizens left the city. On his way to Venice, the great artist found refuge in the northern Italian city of Mantua. In Mantua Leonardo was received as an honoured guest by noblewoman Isabella d Este at her mansion. Before leaving Mantua, da Vinci made a sketch - a simple drawing with no details - of Isabella d Este, who was known as one of the most influential women and a devoted patron of the arts. Today the sketch is kept in the Louvre in Paris, but the painting of Isabella d Este itself never showed up until recently. C. According to a report in the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera in February, 2015, the answer to the 500-year-old mystery has been discovered locked inside a bank vault in Switzerland. The newspaper reported that the long-lost portrait had been found among a private collection of 400 paintings owned by an Italian family who asked not to be identified. The portrait of Isabella d Este was supposedly purchased by the current owners grandparents more than a century ago. Suspicions that the painting was a genuine da Vinci led to scientific research that began three-and-a-half years ago. შეკითხვებზე გადასვლა 4

5 D. Carlo Pedretti, a professor of art history at the University of California, Los Angeles, said he saw the painting several years ago in Switzerland after being contacted by the owners lawyer. After studying the painting the professor came to the conclusion that some parts of the painting could be attributed to da Vinci s name. However, he added that a few more months were needed to determine which portions of the painting might have been painted by da Vinci s disciples. E. The method of carbon dating conducted by a mass spectrometry laboratory at the University of Arizona confirmed that there was only 90% probability that the artwork had been painted between 1460 and Examination of the fragments taken from the work showed that the paint used in the portrait matched the paint used by da Vinci in his other works. It is very important to fully authenticate the find because there are only 15 to 20 genuine da Vinci works in the world. If the painting is proved to belong to da Vinci, the portrait of Isabelle d Este would be worth tens of millions of dollars. F. Before the experts arrive at the final verdict the authenticity of the painting remains doubtful. Some scientists speculate that the portrait could have been made by one of the many artists in northern Italy who copied the master s works. Martin Kemp, professor of the history of art at Oxford University, pointed out to London s Daily Telegraph that da Vinci favoured painting on wooden panels, rather than canvas. Canvas was not used by Leonardo or anyone in his production line, Prof Kemp told The Daily Telegraph. Although with Leonardo, the one thing I have learnt is never to be surprised. 5

6 1. The newly discovered painting is part of a large private collection. 2. The lady in the newly discovered painting and Leonardo s Mona Lisa have nothing in common. 3. One scientific method was unable to determine when the painting was made. 4. Additional research is required to determine which parts could have been painted by da Vinci s students. 5. The sketch of Isabelle d Este was never found. 6. According to some researchers, the painting could be a copy made by some northern Italian artist. 7. Scientists started to study the portrait of the noblewoman a century ago. 8. One argument against da Vinci s authorship is that he preferred to paint on a piece of wood. 9. After escaping from Milan Leonardo da Vinci found protection at a noblewoman s house. 10. The owner of the painting publicly spoke about the treasure the family owned. დაბრუნება ტექსტზე 6
