Kelly Bennett reports that researchers from UC San Diego working in Florence, Italy, said March 13 that they've discovered new, exciting clues that a long-lost painting by Leonardo da Vinci is hidden behind another centuries-old painting.
According to a story from the Associated Press, 'researchers may have discovered traces of a lost mural by Leonardo da Vinci by poking a probe through cracks in a 16th-century fresco painted on the wall of one of Florence's most famous buildings.'
In his 'On Art' blog, Jonathan Jones notes that 'the discovery of a potential Leonardo painting behind a Vasari fresco in Florence is evidence of the enigmatic artist's ingenuity'.
Research is the result of a decades-long quest using cutting-edge technology by University of California San Diego professor Maurizio Seracini, who was featured in Dan Brown's bestselling novel 'The Da Vinci Code'.
Michele Giuntini reports from Florence that traces of color -- including black pigment chemically similar to that used in the Mona Lisa -- were found in a wall cavity where art diagnostician Maurizio Seracini looked for evidence of Leonardo's lost mural, The Battle of Anghiari.
The Abu Dhabi-based English-language publication reports that CISA3 director Maurizio Seracini and his team 'have probed in the cracks of a 16th century fresco and compared the chemical composition of flecks of paint' that appear to be similar to materials used on the Mona Lisa.
The online service reports that 'researchers of the University of California, San Diego may have discovered a lost mural by artist Leonardo da Vinci by taking samples from a stone wall hidden behind a fresco in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy.'

Reuters correspondent Philip Pullella reports on evidence that a da Vinci fresco may still exists behind a wall of Florence's city hall.
Nick Squires from London's Daily Telegraph reports on researchers using micro-cameras to peer behind 16th century mural.
Marisa Taylor reports that a team of researchers has spent nearly 40 years searching for a long-lost painting by Leonardo Da Vinci, and may have located it beneath another work that was painted over it.
This Associated Press story says researchers 'may have discovered traces of a lost mural by Leonardo da Vinci by poking a probe through cracks in a 16th century fresco.'
The radio station reprinted a story from the San Diego Union-Tribune on CISA3's search for the lost Battle of Anghiari mural.
The Seattle radio station reprints a story by Jason Felch of the Los Angeles Times on new evidence that a lost da Vinci mural is located inside a wall of Florence's Palazzo Vecchio.
