- A CSI of art, The Portrait of Leonardo da Vinci brings us to the heart of an extensive investigation involving world-renowned experts, art historians, scientists and even police detectives, using the most innovative scientific techniques to solve one of the great art mysteries of this century. There will be amazing discoveries - like the trace of a thumb embedded in the paint, the same fingerprint found in « Lady with an Ermine », another of Leonardo's paintings.
- In 2008, Italian art historian Nicola Barbatelli discovered a painting on wood in a private collection in Salerno that immediately caught his attention: a portrait of a man in his fifties, with blue eyes and a long white beard, which bears a striking resemblance to a painting on display in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. This was long considered a self-portrait by Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), before an expert opinion in 1938 revealed that it was painted one hundred years after the artist's death. Could the newly discovered painting be the original? A scientific investigation across Europe begins to try to solve the mystery.
