The oil painting was discovered by Nicola Barbatelli, a medieval historian, while he was studying the picture collection of a family in Acerenza in southern Italy. While it was previously thought to portray the astronomer Galileo Galilei, Mr Barbatelli claims that the picture represents the Renaissance genius in middle age. While the authenticity of the picture is yet to be confirmed by experts, da Vinci is believed to have visited the region. The Acerenza portrait also resembles a figure in Raphael’s School of Athens in the Vatican which is also thought to represent da Vinci.

To provide “cosmic harmony and support to the individual,” the maharishi decreed, a Vedic building must be oriented perfectly to the cardinal directions, with an easterly entrance to face the dawn; be constructed according to “precise mathematical dimensions in harmony with the cosmos” and “proportionally designed to mirror the geometry or architecture of the universe”; contain a core of silence called a Brahmanstan; and have each room “carefully placed to resonate with the different energies of the sun as it moves across the sky. Kinari Design principal Doug Atherley, having grown up in India and traveled extensively in Japan and Southeast Asia, considers vaastu part of a broader Asian aesthetic that influences his style.

Painted over 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci’s portrait of the Mona Lisa is one of the most recognized paintings in the world. For centuries the public has been intrigued with this iconic image, and artists around the globe have admired, studied, and reproduced it in order to understand its technique. The Norwegian artist Tor Egil Hansen (born 1964) painted a remarkable replica of the Mona Lisa over the course of five months in 2004 – 2005, taking approximately 400 hours to complete. For a short time, the Museum is displaying this replica along with several photographs documenting its creation in the Bank of America Education Wing, where artists of all ages and skill levels are encouraged to seek insight into Da Vinci’s methods.
