Da Vinci’s The Last Supper: the musical
p2pnet news | Music:- An Italian company used Da Vinci’s The Last Supper for successful promo by posting an incredible 16 billion pixel reproduction online.
Soon after, amateur scholar Slavisa Pesci said new hidden images came to light if a mirrored image was superimposed over the original.
Now there’s music in the air.
“An Italian musician and computer technician claims to have uncovered musical notes encoded in Leonardo’s The Last Supper,” says The Independent.
“Giovanni Maria Pala’s book, La Musica Celata (The Hidden Music) published yesterday in Italy, explains how he interpreted the painting’s Christian symbols as musical clues,” says the story.
The clues, “reveal the slow rhythm of the composition and the duration of each note,” according to the New York Daily News, which adds:
“The result is a 40-second “hymn to God” Pala said sounds best on a pipe organ, the instrument most commonly used in Leonardo’s time for spiritual music.
“Alessandro thisVezzosi, a Leonardo expert and the director of a museum dedicated to the artist, said he had not seen Pala’s research but that the musician’s hypothesis ‘is plausible’.”
Pala, 45, lives near the southern Italian city of Lecce. He began his research four years ago after hearing after hearing about the theory that da Vinci had tucked a musical composition away in the painting.
