To this day, Leonardo da Vinci’s whereabouts between June of 1476 and January of 1478 are considered a mystery. Leonardo was only twenty-four years old at the time, and nobody knows what happened or where he was during those one-and-a-half years. The only thing we know for certain is thatthis period was crucial to many of his inventions.
His genius was so rare and universal that in 1540, a biographer already wrote, “It can be said that nature worked a miracle on his behalf”. Art historians have been puzzled ever since they studied Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting TheAnnunciation using x-ray beams. For reasons unknown, Leonardo has painted the angel in the painting with lead-free paint. Because of that, the angel is the only thing on the entire painting that is invisible on the special x-ray images.
In March of 2012, it was announced that researchers found traces of The Lost Leonardo hidden behind a double wall at the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. This discovery is the first proof that this mysterious artwork really exists. When the four friends Tom, Lisa, Sophie and Jack receive a strange sketch, their lives change abruptly.
They start an investigation because they want to know where exactly the sketch came from. When they realise that they are on to a big secret, they end up in dangerous situations. They steal an old manuscript in Paris, they participate in an ancient game and have to carry a body through Florence without getting caught. There is no time to lose. Risking their own lives they continue their search. Will they ever learn the truth about the biggest secret ever: The Lost Leonardo?
