A personal account of the search for a "Lost Leonardo" - a painting of the Holy Children (Jesus and John the Baptist) kissing and embracing.
More than a dozen art scholars of the last 120 years have stated that the motif of the Holy Children Embracing is based on "a lost Leonardo da Vinci painting." But a Leonardo da Vinci painting of the two holy infants was sold by William Beckford in 1807 (see the Gentleman's Magazine of September 1807, available on www), and a Leonardo painting of the Holy Children was viewed by Gustav Friedrich Waagen in the Baring Collection in Bath House in Piccadilly, London in 1851 (published in 1854). Were they the same painting? Where did the Baring work go after its owner died in 1864?
Initially, the questions raised by "Project Lost Leonardo" were more numerous than the answers produced, but following a chance meeting in the fall of 2007 in the Netherlands, more answers revealed themselves.
This interesting account is of one man's research into the paintings of the Renaissance master, and his disagreements with 'authority.'
Has the Lost Leonardo at last been revealed?
Really, the answer is up to you!
