More Da Vinci secrets revealed. Apparently it’s all done with smoke and mirrors.
“It is easy to find invisible images in Leonardo’s paintings. Many of his characters seem to be staring into space. In reality, they are indicating where one must place the mirror to visualize the images,” Conti told Discovery News.
When applied to Da Vinci’s painting “Saint Anne, the Virgin and Child,” on display at London’s National Gallery, a mirror reveals a figure which some cynical observers say looks like the Star Wars character Darth Vader.
According to Conti, the image resembles the ancient Old Testament god Jahveh, who represents the human mind’s struggles against the vices of the body.
