This is an old news, but I came to know couple of days before when I was watching TED Talks couple of days before, I came across “The true face of Leonardo Da Vinci” by Siegfried Woldhek. The presenter himself is an artist and he has done a good research on finding the true face of Da Vinci. He uses the known facts about Da Vinci and proves that Da Vinci did three pictures of himself. And he points out the similarities of the three pictures. Well, you can watch it here

But, for the lazy folks who cant/wont/dont have time to watch the show, here are the three pictures.

1. Franchino Gaffurio, The Musician
   
2. Vitruvian Man
   
3. His portrait in red chalk
   

He also stated that the age of the subjects in the photos suit the age of Da Vinci and the time of the photograph. For me, the rather interesting and fascinating thing is that the man in the painting Vitruvian Man was Da Vinci himself. Anyway, this research was presented in an interesting manner and the talk is a small one. So, now stop being lazy and watch it.
