Until now unknown frescoes by Leonardo da Vinci of Milan on April 28, spectators will see Sforza Castle for the first time, and on May 1 frescoes will become the main exhibit (and the center of attention of participants festival) of the Milan Museum Festival – Universal Exposition 2015.
These unique murals of the great master for more than five hundred years “hid” under several layers of plaster, and nobody even it never occurred to that in the Sforza castle, where it seems to have been studied every centimeter of the area may remain in obscurity such treasure.
However, in 2013, museum workers decided to light the walls ultraviolet – what if? And – a miracle happened, under the plaster of the walls the contours of unknown frescoes appeared. Since then, restorers under the leadership of Alberto Felici not only released this miracle, but also determined that the frescoes were executed by the great master Leonardo yes Vinci. The fresco depicts a landscape identical to the one we we see in the background the famous painting of the artist “The Last Supper” about Jesus Christ and his disciples. Sketches have also been preserved here – landscape with a cliff church and several houses. Obviously Leonardo da Vinci planned to create in the residence of the Dukes one masterpiece, but for some reason did not have time.
Now in the Milan castle of Sforza is a museum, it is he April 28 will open the door for visitors who will come first look at the unknown frescoes of the great artist. However, not the first, the first to be seen, of course, by the restorers. They will be and last, as they have yet to complete restoration works that are not completely finished. It’s just possible today look at the new frescoes of Leonardo da Vinci, especially during Museum holiday.
