Leonardo's lost work, the Battle of Anghiari, may be hidden behind a wall in Florence.

It would be a great boost for the Universal Leonardo Project, due to hit a whole series of galleries next year.

  • Fantastic.
  • Seeing as this is perhaps, ooh, five minutes stroll from the Mothninja'n'Danger abode, any monkeys wishing to pop over and have a look are most welcome.
  • Bananas! Wish I could pop over for a look. *pop*
  • Wow. I seethe at Mothninja'n'Danger. I SEETHE!
  • I'm seething too.
  • Me seethe three. Not at mothninja & danger personally, but at the general situation. *shakes fist at sky*
  • can't type ... seething ...
  • I totally found a lost leonardo under my bed. It was a picture of like hercules fighting godzilla, and it was a code. The code was "NICKDANGER RULES!!!!"
  • Hercules fighting godzilla? wait a second, what u doing with *my* leonardo
  • Ha, my Leonardo totally whales on your Leonardo. Mine is of Godzilla AND Mothra fighting Angelina Jolie.
  • Goddamn that Angelina Jolie.
  • Ha double-ha, my Leonardo brings his dazzling talent to the role of Hamlet while Godzilla plays Claudius, Mothra plays Gertrude, and Angelina Jolie plays Ophelia.
  • Angelina Jolie as Ophelia? Mmm, sexy AND crazy... *drools, falls over*
  • Hey I just got a postcard from mothninja! w00tw00tw00t! OMG Florence is so old!
  • Does the postcard have a lost Renaissance art masterpiece on it? (If not, she's holding out on you)
  • This can only mean one thing: another bloody Dan Brown book. Fuck. *seethes at Dan Brown*
  • Nah, just a bunch of orange tiled rooftops. Maybe one of the houses has stolen art stashed in it though. Sweet.
  • Noted critic Tom Phillips seethed his way through a regrettably rare Mofi comment. (Wrote Dan)
  • That's right, flashboy, couldn't you manage to get yourself the sack or something?
  • Another hidden Leonardo picture.
  • The reason why he painted over the picture was that he knew it was crap and he was short of canvas. There, you see? Why aren't I running this arty thing business? Oh, yeah, now I remember.
