新しいダ・ヴィンチの絵が発見された、の記事（ＢＢＣ）
赤外線技術の使用で「岩窟の聖母」の下に絵があることが分かったそうです。片手を伸ばして膝まづいている女性だと信じられている。
他にも書かれているけど、このブログで散々採り上げてきた内容を繰り返してるだけなんで訳出するほどの内容はないです。ナショナル・ギャラリー以外にルーブルにもあるとか、ルーブルのは個人に売られたとか書かれてますが、誰が買ったんでしょう？それには触れていませんね、この記事では。
ダ・ヴィンチは幼子キリストを崇拝する絵を計画していたが、赤ん坊として描く前にそのアイデアは廃棄されたと専門家は考えてるそうです。
う～ん、どうもあまり内容のない記事ですな。もっと面白い情報は無いのかな？？？

New Leonardo picture discovered
A new picture by Leonardo da Vinci has been discovered, the National Gallery in London has said.
It said experts using infra-red techniques found a drawing under the surface of the Virgin of the Rocks painting which hangs at the gallery.
It believes the drawing shows a woman kneeling with one arm stretched out.
Experts believe the Italian Renaissance painter was planning a picture of an adoration of the child Christ but abandoned the idea.
Leonardo was commissioned to paint the Virgin of the Rocks to decorate an altarpiece in a chapel in Milan in 1483.
The artist appears to have painted two versions.
One, which now hangs in the Louvre, was probably sold to a private client, says BBC arts correspondent Rebecca Jones.

The other, which hangs in the National Gallery, was placed in the chapel in 1508.
It is under this painting that experts believe they have found a drawing of a kneeling woman.
She is pictured with her eyes downcast and one of her hands stretched out.
Experts think Leonardo da Vinci was probably planning a picture of an adoration of the Christ child, but abandoned the idea before drawing Jesus as a baby, our correspondent says.
However, why he painted over the work may never be known, she adds.
Milan arrival
The Virgin of the Rocks was the first painting executed by Leonardo after his arrival in Milan.
Critics have argued over exactly what the painting depicts.
Some claim it shows the Immaculate Conception, while others believe it recalls the moment when the infant Christ met St John the Baptist.
Leonardo painted the Mona Lisa, considered to be among the world's most famous paintings.
His other masterpieces include the Last Supper and Adoration of the Magi.

ルーブルのボツになった一作目はどうなんだろう？
ちなみに「ダビンチコード」レバノンで発禁になったようですね。
そうそう、おっしゃる通り、レバノンではキリスト教を侮辱していると宗教団体からの抗議で当局が禁止したらしいですね。他の国々にも広がってるそうですし…なかなか難しいですね、宗教関係は。
