A
\n lost Leonardo fresco and tantalizing hints that remnants may still exist
\n – hidden behind a wall in a Florence palazzo – has the art world abuzz.<\/p>\n
For 30 years, art work detective Maurizio Seracini has been searching
\n for Leonardo da Vinci’s lost fresco.<\/p>\n
And now Seracini has found a breakthrough in Florence’s Palazzo Vecchio.
\n A small cavity in a wall may hold the key to a long lost secret, he says.<\/p>\n
"Now we have to go beyond that wall and see with other technologies
\n what is there to be possibly seen as well as analyzed," Seracini
\n says.<\/p>\n
The cavity lies behind murals by Georgio Vasari, an admirer of da Vinci,
\n where an inscription on a flag says, "Search … find!"<\/p>\n
Other artists reproduced da Vinci’s "Battle of Anghiari" using
\n the master’s drawings, but the original fresco has not been seen since
\n 1563.<\/p>\n
