An international team of scientists led by Pierre Giorgio Rigetti, a professor at the Polytechnic University of Milan, revealed one of the secrets of Leonardo da Vinci’s creative style (1452-1519) and his art school. The results of the study were published in the journal Digital Archeology and Cultural Heritage, said Gleb Zilberstein, one of the project participants working in Israel. He explained that at the heart of the Renaissance images of the Madonna and Child Jesus was the radial arrangement of elements, which came from the Arab and Persian traditions and became typical of both the masterpieces of the Renaissance genius and his school. Using digital technology, we have analyzed the technique of radial arrangement of elements from ancient times to the Renaissance, and we can confidently say that this “Da Vinci seal” is a kind of template for the works of the Leonardo school, a kind of “Da Vinci cipher” “said Zilberstein. “After the fall of Constantinople, the canons of orthodox church iconography came under the strong influence of Eastern culture, including in Italy, which influenced the formation of the artistic style of the Renaissance, and in particular the style of Leonardo,” he added.
