In August, experts, using hyperspectral visualization, found that the image of an angel and baby of Christ in the original versions of the painting "Madonna in the rocks" differs from the final version. On macroentgen fluorescent spectroscopy maps, it can be seen that the angel hugs the baby Jesus Christ.

In Italy, the ITALIA NOSTRA Association tried to prohibit the removal of the famous drawing, insisting that this work of the artist should constantly be in special conditions, and transportation and lighting at the exhibition may apply to it irreparable harm. However, the court in Italy decided that the "Vitruvian man" can still be presented at the exhibition in Paris.

"He [Figure" Vitruvian Man "] shows the beauty of [human] body," says the curator of the exhibition Vincent Deluvin.
"We hope that we can show how he [Leonardo da Vinci] was an artist, why he is so important. He used a special and unusual work method based on a scientific approach," adds deluvin.

"Mona Lisa" - perhaps the most famous work of Leonardo da Vinci, will be presented at the exhibition using virtual reality technologies. The picture itself will remain in the same place in the permanent exposition of the Louvre, where it is behind the bulletproof glass. This decision was made due to the fact that the capacity of the exhibition halls is several times lower than the capacity of the constant exposure hall.

Among them - the sketches of the head and hand of the ice (to the lost picture of the "Leda and Swan").

Leonardo was born in the city of Vinci, in Tuscany, in 1452. His interests were not limited to painting, he was also a sculptor, architect, mathematician. For several years before his death in May 1519, he spent in France - at the invitation of the King of Francis I.
This circumstance became one of the arguments in a recent dispute between Italy and France.
The exhibition that Louvre prepared for many years, was questioned at the end of last year, when the Italian right-hand party "League of the North" spoke out against the provision of France of several works of the artist, stating that Italy, giving work, will be "on the side of a large political event" .
In November last year, the Deputy Minister of Culture Italian, Lucia Bortzoni stated: "Leonardo was Italian. He only died in France. France can not get everything."
The point in this dispute was delivered only last week when the court for administrative affairs in Italy ruled that the drawing "Vitruvian man", which is stored in the gallery in Venice in a room where a constant temperature is maintained, can be delivered to the exhibition in the Louvre.
At the same time, the court referred to the exceptional significance of the exhibition in the Louvre for the whole world.
"Now our work will be able to start two wonderful Italian-French exhibitions - Leonardo in Paris and Raphael in Rome," Pubio Franni's Minister of Culture wrote in Twitter.
