Amboise

A new virtual gallery of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings that plunges the viewer into the Renaissance master's creative process opened on June 25 at the manor in central France where he spent the last three years of his life.

A nude sketch that bears a striking resemblance to the Mona Lisa may have been drawn by Leonardo da Vinci, experts have said, quoted by The Guardian.

Scientists at the Louvre in Paris, where the painting is held, have been examining a charcoal drawing known as the Monna Vanna, which had been attributed to the Florentine master's studio.
