New da Vinci Discovered Thanks to Hunch and A Fingerprint

This painting, which was sold in auction as "German, Early 19th Century" has gone from being worth $19,000 to millions overnight. The new owner who won it decided to give the painting a thorough checkup, whereupon a fingerprint was found. It matched another found on a confirmed da Vinci portrait.

Peter Silverman, the Canadian-born owner, thought there was more to it and decided to get the drawing checked out after buying it in 2007.

His hunch appears to have paid off.

A Paris laboratory discovered that a fingerprint from the tip of an index or middle-finger, found on the top left of the picture, was "highly comparable" to one found on da Vinci's work St Jerome, which he painted early in his career when he did not have assistants, according to the Antiques Trade Gazette.

Hylozoic Soil: Interactive kinetic sculpture

Take, for example, Hylozoic Soil, an 8,000-cubic-foot thicket of acrylic, latex, and metal that trembles, grasps, and snaps at people who pass through it. The creator of this conceptual building material, Canadian artist and architect Philip Beesley, also designs respectable, less-aggressive public structures. But this latest work takes inspiration from hylozoism, the belief that all matter has life. LINK, Via: Youtube
