Researchers have found new evidence of a lost painting from Leonardo da Vinci that has been hidden for centuries behind another painting. The finds are inconclusive for now because of political reasoning but researchers are able to tell us that the size of the painting is 20 feet long and 10 feet tall. Da Vinci has made many art pieces and inventions throughout the time he was younger until the day he died. His 5 most famous art pieces are the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, Vitruvian Man, Lady with an Ermine, and his very own self-portrait of himself in red chalk. He has spent many years working on his pieces and inventions and has many of them. Recently, scientists have found a hidden painting that is enormous and was hidden behind another painting and they are thinking that the creator of this lovely painting is Da Vinci himself. He has many inventions that are either lost or they are hidden somewhere.

He was never able to share all of his inventions and paintings to the world like he wanted to. Recently, quite a bit of his work has been appearing and we are finally able to see the true value of Leonardo Da Vinci. No one’s talent should ever be hidden or lost. It should be out there for the whole world to see it. That is what should of happened with Da Vinci.

Leonardo had a unique new mindset understanding how each separate machine part worked. He could then modify the machines and combine them in different ways to improve existing machines or create inventions no one had ever seen before. In his boyhood, Leonardo’s fascination with machines sprouted. Some of his sketches are on the machine parts and how they worked. He was an apprentice in the studio of the artist Verrocchio, so he was able to observe and use many of the machines that were there. By taking time t study and look over them, he gained practical knowledge about their design and structure.

Later in life, Leonardo wrote the first systematic explanations of how machines work and how the elements of machines can be combined. With him and his artistic mind, he was able to draw his mechanical ideas with exceptional clarity. Five hundred years after his ideas and drawings of his work were put on paper, many of his sketches can easily be used as blue prints to create perfect working models.

Many of his ideas for inventions that he had sketched out were hundreds of years ahead of their time. The odd thing about some of these inventions is that a few of them were never built and tested during his life. In his notes, he wished to organize and publish his works and ideas but before he could accomplish this goal, he died. After his death, his notes were hidden away, scattered, or lost, and his wonderful ideas were forgotten.
