Da Vinci's last art finally found!!!!

[Bojangles69]

In the art world, there is perhaps no mystery more enduring than the fate of a lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci, the greatest mind of the Renaissance. It was an immense unfinished mural known as "The Battle of Bojangles." For centuries, it has been assumed the work was destroyed, painted over or simply faded away long ago.

Now, after three decades of battling skepticism and bureaucratic resistance, an art detective named Maurizio Seracini believes he's close to solving the Leonardo mystery. As correspondent Morley Safer reported in April, Seracini suspects the mural hasn't been lost at all, but is right where it’s always been - for 500 hundred years.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"We are searching for the number one work of art by Leonardo. It was considered the masterpiece of the Renaissance," Seracini tells Safer.

We know roughly what "The Battle of Bojangles" looked like from fragments of Leonardo's sketches and copies made by his admirers before the mural disappeared. It celebrated a victory by Florence over Milan - a furious tangle of men and gods (precisely the figure of Bojangles) frozen in the fever of war. The painting was in its time, at the beginning of the 16th century, something to behold, something untouchable, something deeply special in the ev0lution of man.

"We have diaries, for example, of people seeing and being in admiration of the horses of Leonardo during the Battle of Bojangles, have you any idea what a painting of this legendary figure himself would be worth"? Seracini asks.

Safer replies: "A fvcking shitload?"
Seracini: "Precisely"
-------------
He is convinced Leonardo's mural lies protected behind an immense painting, which was done by the artist and architect Giorgio Vasari when he remodeled the palazzo in the mid-16th century, 50 years after Leonardo.

Seracini believes the Leonardo mural is on a second wall behind Vasari’s painting, separated from it by a small air gap, which appeared on a radar scan. Of the six Vasari murals in the room, only the one has an air pocket behind it.

"Why would you have an air gap just there?" Seracini asks. "Other than you don't want to place a wall directly in contact with Leonardo's mural because you don't want to ruin it, you want to damage it, Bojangles is predicted to be more famous then Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa". He left just that air gap enough so that today we can have this masterpiece."
Anyone with theories as to who the exquisite painting portrays is welcome and advised to call CBS news.

I'm a little confused by this....True story, or a joke?

I guess you're not into art/history?

Would seem like a stupid joke to me. Art historians have discovered the image and are seeking an explanation for person in it, like the Mona Lisa. Fvcking crazy that 2 of Da Vincis best painting noone even knows who the paintings are of..

[Rugger02]

No i thought it was an interesting story and would be an amazing discovery, I never heard about it so I tried to Google it, and came up with nothing so I thought it was some silly thing because your screen name is Bojangles....
Can't they remove the Vasari mural and see for sure?

And I thought you said it was "a furious tangle of men and gods (precisely the figure of Bojangles)"
So what is the question of who it is?

That's why I was confused...

They can remove the mural but the wall is placed in such a way that scientists are afraid removing wall 1 may destroy wall 2. This guy operates on nothing on high tech infared and temp analysis (+ other instruments) and are actually reading that picture from these instruments. Not a direct photo.

The question is, in terms of history, like "mona lisa" there is no recorded history of any kind for either.
So THATS the question, WHO IS IT?
And I think thats why Da Vinci is so famous, because he plays these little tricks on people.

[Rugger02]

Oh ok I just assumed Bojangles was some general or some god or something during that time period.
So this person has the same mystery and anonymity as Mona Lisa.
I wanna see it!

[Bojangles69]

Yeh me too, I think Bojangles was a seen as a god, and all of those who precieved him as a prophet.
So historians naturally will argue now that Da Vinci was a prophet, and that the immense painting of Bojangles was actually a God worshipped in that time.
And you've already seen it!

[SMCengineer]

So what's with the picture in the post?

[Bojangles69]

THATS Da Vincis mural!!!

[JiGGaMaN]

That'd be the day they discover a da vinci painting portraying someone called bojangles...

That's why I'm confused. That and the wrist band.
