glorybebe Posted August 1, 2007 Author #101 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I didn't think the mirrored/superimposed image on this site was very good. Now...please anyone correct me if I'm wrong about this....but wouldn't a mirrored/superimposed image be symetrical?.....although some of the original might merge into the 'new' picture (as a part of something else). Working on the assumption that da Vinci did play around with this picture....I'm thinking how he would work it all out. He did make numerous sketches preparing for the figures in the picture...including, I have read, sketching them naked to get all the postures etc exactly right. So...I'm thinking he would have sketched/painted preparations. I think he would have had to do the 'hidden picture' first, which would have been symetrical. Then from this picked out the picture he wanted to actually present. It would have been quite difficult to do...but then he WAS a genius! (or so it is said....and from what is left for history to judge, this does seem to be the case...) I'm not convinced that these were what da Vinci wanted to emphasise. Although Mary Magdalene being Jesus's wife and mother of his child... and links with the Knights Templar were probably part of the 'secret message'. What I get from it.....and at this point I must thank you for the link/pictures that you posted way back in this thread....In my opinion they are probably as acurate as you can get. They are certainly, anyway, the best 'results' I've seen on the internet so far..... What I get...is that the Mary Magdalene with the hand slicing neck, on the original, becomes the central and dominant figure. Jesus disappears. Also...if the second from right figure (as we look at the original) is Leonardo himself. He too disappears, and this is the place where the 'red robed knight' is supposed to be. Whether it is just a coincidence, a hoax or whatever, it is still fascinating to me and it will give rise to more and more theories for us to discuss. And IF Da Vinci was involved with the Templars or whomever, why wouldn't he want to leave hints or maybe just his opinion on how things were/might have been? This would have been the only way back then to do something in any way politically activistic (is that a word? LOL) and not get thrown in prison and tortured to repent.

bee Posted August 1, 2007 #102 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Here you go guys (I think) The Orignal Reversed Image Imposed Over the Original Also....on the original....the two figures 2nd + 3rd from the right (as we look at it... and one of them possibly being Leornardo himself).......appear to be remonstrating with the far right figure. They are turned away from Jesus. In the mirrored/superimposed pic. when I think Jesus has turned into Mary Magdalene... all the figures are NOW facing the central figure.

I agree......it must have been almost impossible to speak out against the 'established' church in those days. Without being persecuted, imprisoned and tortured.

Jjbreen Posted August 1, 2007 #104 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I'm not convinced about this person holding a baby thing. It's too easy to realize it's simply the character from the other side just flipped around. That's all it appears as to me. The knight on the left side is neat to look at--I will admit that much. Hard to say if that's an effect that was meant to be however. About the "baby" - as I did the progressive tranparent overlay - the baby is actually the head of one of the apostle's and the hand of another. Nothing more and nothing less. The "Knight" is again the overlay shadow of the two individuals making this 'person'. U would get this if you had any two people on opposite sides overlayed like this.

Bear's Quest Posted August 1, 2007 #105 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Honestly! To me it just looks like one Apostle has the other in a headlock!? Thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bee Posted August 1, 2007 #106 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Honestly! To me it just looks like one Apostle has the other in a headlock!? Thats all. It does kind of look like that....I wonder which apostle has which apostle in a headlock!!! (in the proposed 'hidden' picture.) Leonardo must have used actual historical characters for the 'original'. It also looks more like a skull than a baby to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief - give it a rest - U have a serious over active imagination at work here.

nakasan Posted August 8, 2007 #118 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Has anyone noticed that Dramatists reverse image is actually different to the one the has the "amazing" images on? Dramatist flipped the image, then super imposed it. Doing this gives nothing spectacular. The image doing the rounds was flipped, moved to the left a little bit, then super imposed. Then, SHOCK!! something can almost be made out a bit. So there, thats it, debunked very very easily. Leo didnt create a painting that, when flipped then super imposed, would reveal a baby and a sort of guy in red. Thought popular culture was smarter than that. Definately would of thought the guys and gals who have posted here for a while would of seen that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repoman Posted August 8, 2007 #119 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Are we sure we understand the difference between merely REVERSING an image and an images MIRROR IMAGE? I know that when I stand in front of a mirror with another person, we don't magically switch positions in the mirror. And we don't see ourselves upside down. So I have no idea what those simple image reversals and superimpositions are supposed toshow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nakasan Posted August 8, 2007 #120 Share Posted August 8, 2007 If you super impose a mirror image exactly, the image would not look any different. A mirror image only looks different due to differing persepctive. once that differing perspective is removed (i.e. the two images are at the same place again) the mirror image is the same as the original. Seriously peeps, If i'm wrong, shoot me down!!! (with examples!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grail Seekers Posted August 9, 2007 #125 Share Posted August 9, 2007 It seems that I can't leave the mirror image thing alone just yet. I started to think of other works of art that might have similar properties when mirrored. Given that Poussin's Shepherds at Arcadia painting has a number of mirror image engravings about (Shugborough Hall in Staffordshire, England being the most famous), was this possibly a clue that the same technique should be used on it? Here's what I came up with Looks like there's a heart or sacred heart at the center of the tomb. Here's an enlargement of that area of the painting. Any thought out there?
