   Science and inventions of Leonardo da Vinci

   If, as is thought to be the case, Leonardo painted the torso and arms of Christ in The Baptism of Christ on which he famously collaborated with his master Verrocchio, then his understanding of topographical anatomy had surpassed that of his master at an early age as can be seen by a comparison of the arms of Christ with those of John the Baptist in the same painting. ...

   Criticisms of The Da Vinci Code

   Though Jesus himself is never recorded as directly referring to the church or any group of believers as his "bride" (though he uses the metaphor of a "bridegroom" in some parables in the Gospel of Matthew, namely in verses 22:1-14 and 25:1-13), the comparison can be found as early as Paul (Ephesians 5:25-27, 2 Corinthians 11:2-3) and the Book of Revelation. ... The contention that the "Mona Lisa" was painted by Leonardo as a self-portrait has been officially dismissed, as Mona Lisa's historical identity has recently been discovered to be Lisa del Giocondo (however, this was unknown to be a certainty prior to The Da Vinci Code's publishing) despite Lillian Schwartz of Bell Labs, and Digby Quested of the Maudsley Hospital in London having used "morphing" techniques to argue that the resemblance to Leonardo's alleged self-portrait is striking.

   Mona Lisa

   Mona Lisa (also known as La Gioconda) is a 16th century portrait painted in oil on a poplar panel by Leonardo da Vinci during the Italian Renaissance. ... Although these figures are greater than that which the Mona Lisa was insured for, the comparison does not account for the change in prices due to inflation -- $100 million in 1962 is approximately $670 million in 2006 when adjusted for inflation using the US Consumer Price Index.
