Because new technologies are revealing tremendous things in the art world, I wanted to post this amazing video showing the slow revelation of Leonardo da Vinci's painting, Salvator Mundi, through the restoration process.
Re-posted below is a blog by The Colorist which is receiving some attention on the Interwebs.

Although he has been safely dead for 492 years, Leonardo da Vinci continues to make headlines. Arguably the greatest polymath ever, Leonardo is never uninteresting.
Is it possible that da Vinci painted an image titled Salvator Mundi, and that this has only now come to light? News reports say that experts have re-attributed this painting to the master, whereas before it was said to have been created by one of da Vinci's students. Incredibly, this would be only the fifteenth known painting by da Vinci that exists. Unless, of course, somebody un-crates another one somewhere.
Dan Brown! Paging Mr. Dan Brown!
