Leonardo da Vinci in Rome

Probably one of the best artists in the world, Leonardo Da Vinci, is the subject of a fantastic exhibition taking place at Sale del Bramante (located in S. Maria del Popolo, @ Piazza del Popolo 12). In the 2006 edition, this exhibition attracted more than 300,000 visitors.
Thanks to the incredible demand in Rome, the exhibition of Leonardo Da Vinci will continue to run till July the 10th of 2007, with more objects than before. We can see in the Sale del Bramante approximately 50 life-size replicas of some of Da Vinci’s machines, as well as unique copies of Leonardo’s Codex, faithfully reproduced.

New da Vinci Invention Surfaces, Michael W. Domoretsky’s Discovery,” The Perpendicular Reverse Mirror Image” And Optical Illusion/Bending Of Light, Seems To Have Weight, Very Much Weight, On A Newly Discovered Leonardo da Vinci Invention, That Sparks New Theory’s On Encrypted Images Discovered Within Masterpieces By Domoretsky.
”Leonardo da Vinci” As usual, as is our experience, repeated time and time again, renowned art critics and professed art experts, such as Vittorio Scarbi and many others, base their opinions on accepted art world and art education precepts looking at daVinci’s works as artists not scientists or inventor. We on the other hand think you will be quite intrigued and fascinated with the reverse perpendicular mirror image process and the bending of light / optical illusion, that Leonardo was quite familiar with, invented, and more likely as we have discovered, practiced in perfecting this process within his masterpieces.
As always it is difficult to persuade experts professing established thought in any field to consider new, alternate or previously UN accepted ideas. But then the experts thought the world was flat for centuries. Links to the processes discovered.
We welcome comments by interested parties and will post appropriate.

Cracking the real da Vinci code: Hidden in plain sight


By Gail McCarthy
GLOUCESTER DAILY TIMES (GLOUCESTER, Mass.)

GLOUCESTER, Mass. —

Michael Domoretsky has spent the past four years studying the works of Leonardo da Vinci to uncover the secrets of the original Renaissance man.

Now he’s sharing those secrets with the world.

What Domoretsky has found, he says, is a “legacy of hidden messages” carefully concealed in some of the world’s most famous paintings and decipherable only to those who know how to read them.

Domoretsky, an Ipswich resident, gave his first public presentation on his research before a roomful of North Shore Masons at their lodge on Eastern Avenue in Gloucester on Tuesday night.

The venue was appropriate because Domoretsky believes the 15th century artist was a Mason who incorporated Masonic symbols, like the compass and square, into his works.

“The best place to hide something is in plain sight,” said Domoretsky, who is a Mason himself and works with stone as a self-employed installer of marble and granite countertops.

Domoretsky has had a lifelong interest in da Vinci. But his obsession with the master’s secrets was kindled when he came across an image of the “Mona Lisa” on a Web site about the movie “The Da Vinci Code.”

He’s quick to add, however, that he didn’t see the movie until long after he began his research, has never read the book and his work has no connection to the ideas presented by “Code” author Dan Brown.

Domoretsky said da Vinci was a master of optical illusion who created pictures within pictures within pictures — many of them designed to be visible only with the use of mirrors.

In the darkened hall, Domoretsky projected images of two paintings, “Mona Lisa” and “The Virgin and Child with St. Anne and the Infant Saint John the Baptist,” as they appear when mirrors are positioned to the right and left of the original artwork.

The resulting twinned images reveal hidden faces and objects and forms that include several chalices and what Domoretsky sees as a high priest of the Knights Templar, a Templar shield and cross and a sarcophagus.

The Knights Templar came into existence after the First Crusade of 1096 to protect European pilgrims en route to sacred sites in Jerusalem. The order was suppressed about 200 years later but, some believe, went underground and survived as a secret society.

Domoretsky believes da Vinci was “heavily involved in Freemasonry and the Knights Templar.”

Graham Noll of Groveland, who is part of Domoretsky’s da Vinci Project Research Group and assisted at Tuesday’s presentation, said the messages that the artist embedded in his work were intended for other initiates of the secret societies in which da Vinci was involved.

“The membership of craft and professional associations were given knowledge and ritual to protect, and da Vinci was obliged to pass on the information,” Noll said.

Domoretsky said to his knowledge, he is the first to use the mirror imaging to study Da Vinci’s work.

Scholars are skeptical of his findings — one critic, for example, questions why da Vinci would conceal the word “Mary” in the folds of the Mona Lisa’s clothing when the Italian for Mary is “Maria.”

“Anyone who claims to find something new is dismissed by the experts,” Domoretsky said. “We are misrepresented because some people don’t like what we say.”

Domoretsky remains undaunted and continues his research to decode da Vinci’s secrets and the meaning of messages he encrypted in his paintings. He plans to hit the road with the show he presented in Gloucester.

Domoretsky, who also plans a book, has previously detailed some of his findings on his Web site, www.lionardofromvinci.com. (He believes the artist’s real first name was Lionardo, not Leonardo.)

Dana Andrus, master of the Tyrian-Ashler-Acacia Masonic Lodge in Gloucester, said Masons he talked with after the presentation were intrigued by Domoretsky’s work.

“I think he is somewhat of a visionary,” Andrus said. “He used da Vinci’s own insight to look at the paintings. That’s someone who has taken a great deal of time and thought, and not listened to the conventional wisdom, and come up with a new idea on how to approach something.”

From a probability professor: Jan. 1/08
TO: The da Vinci Project Research Group
http://www.lionardofromvinci.com/


We searched a minimum of over 5000 paintings of the period and were unable to locate any use of the Perpendicular Mirror Process outside Leonardo da Vinci’s works.
We have identified a minimum of 20 images within the “Virgin and child with St. Anne and the infant St. John” that are readily accepted by almost 100% of the people who view those specific discoveries.
We asked a probability expert form a proper hypothesis and to do a calculation relative to the probability of the discoveries being random or coincidental based on these facts.

His answer is:
We’ll assume that the chances of a random event occurring in a painting of that era are less than 1 in 5000 since you couldn’t find any in that many trials(i.e. looks at paintings).
Now suppose you find, say 20, such events (i.e. images) in one painting.
The odds of this occurring independently by chance are less than (1/5000) ^20=10^ (-74) =1 divided by 10 raised to the power of 74 which is essentially 0.
Thus it’s virtually impossible to find 20 images by coincidence.

Anaxagoras wrote about it,Leonardo practiced it and Now Domoretsky Discovered it:
Anaxagoras writes: Everything proceeds from everything, and everything becomes everything, and everything can be turned into everything else...
Surely Domoretsky has discovered a greatness that Leonardo left for all of us to joy in!
I suggest that anyone that ever read anything about Leonardo da Vinci should view Domoretsky's Discoveries.
