Michelangelo, da Vinci, Van Gogh and company were even more brilliant than we’ve given them credit
for, they gave a message through their work. There’s a scientific secret hiding in one of the most famous
paintings of all time. It resides on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, painted by Michelangelo, as God
gives Adam the first spark of life. The flowing reddish-brown cloak behind God and the angels is the
exact same shape as a human brain.
Though the popular treasure hunt thriller The Da Vinci Code is speculative to say the least, Leonardo da
Vinci did hide some secrets in his most famous works. Namely, the Mona Lisa, a famous painting
among famous paintings, the Louvre museum’s most visited work. This enigmatic lady actually has the
artist’s initials, LV, painted in her right eye, but they’re microscopically small.

X-This made the paths of two opposites cross eventually leading to their relations.
Y-This gave a loud and clear message to the world of love, carrying someone else’s burden and how
love has been lost among us people.
