TED | Talks | The true face of Leonardo Da Vinci

Very interesting video from TED – but then the vast majority of TED videos are – about Leonardo Da Vinci’s true face. Must watch for your inner-geek.

Leonardo Da Vinci’s life and work is well known — but his own face is not. Illustrator and activist Siegfried Woldhek used some thoughtful image-analysis techniques to find what he believes is the true face of Leonardo. Here, he walks viewers through exactly how he did it.
