Dowbrigade

A
lost Leonardo fresco and tantalizing hints that remnants may still exist
– hidden behind a wall in a Florence palazzo – has the art world abuzz.

For 30 years, art work detective Maurizio Seracini has been searching
for Leonardo da Vinci’s lost fresco.

And now Seracini has found a breakthrough in Florence’s Palazzo Vecchio.
A small cavity in a wall may hold the key to a long lost secret, he says.

"Now we have to go beyond that wall and see with other technologies
what is there to be possibly seen as well as analyzed," Seracini
says.

The cavity lies behind murals by Georgio Vasari, an admirer of da Vinci,
where an inscription on a flag says, "Search … find!"

Other artists reproduced da Vinci’s "Battle of Anghiari" using
the master’s drawings, but the original fresco has not been seen since
1563.
