Judging by the rumors circulating on the Internet, Leonardo da Vinci predicted the end of the world and pointed out that it would happen sooner than ideal.
According to various tabloid stories, the famous painter of the 15th century hid secret clues about the date the Earth would end in his painting The Last Supper, about the apocalypse. “There is a da Vinci code – and this code is not one that was popularized by Dan Brown,” Sforza Galitzia, the Vatican researcher who made the claim, said in 2010.
Working on da Vinci manuscripts as a researcher at the University of California, Galitzia claimed that the sage predicted that the apocalypse would begin on March 21, 4006. According to Galitzia, da Vinci hid his message in his painting to avoid being attacked.
However, it is not clear what exactly this message is. The articles say that Galatzia has solved a “mathematical and astrological” puzzle, but without any explanation or information and there is no evidence other than saying “trust me”.
According to ScienceInfo.net, Galatzia was the king of France XIII. He came to this conclusion after examining the Last Supper tapestry based on sketches by da Vinci, which was given as a gift to Louis XVI, and elsewhere Galitzia is said to have found hidden clues in the window above Jesus. But other than that, there isn’t much to analyze.
Still, we can say that da Vinci showed his interest in apocalyptic events by drawing a series of disaster scenes towards the end of his life. Scenes showed fires raining from the sky and boiling seas, while accompanying notes discussed the appearance of clouds.
“During the last years of his life, Leonardo repeatedly addressed, both in his drawings and in his writings, the subject of a catastrophic storm crushing a landscape,” the Royal Collection Trust website states. The article continues: “The obsession with death and disaster is the very personal expression of an artist nearing his end, an artist who sees some of his greatest works unfinished or has (his works) destroyed before his eyes, with a deep sense of the impermanence of everything, even the world. visible.”
While some think the drawings depict events such as storms and earthquakes in da Vinci’s time, historians have found no evidence of these events.
These notes read, “May the dark and gloomy air be seen densely from the perpetual rain, swept away by the onslaught of the opposite winds and mixed with hail and bearing an infinite number of branches that have been torn from the trees and mingled with innumerable leaves.” “Everywhere are venerable trees uprooted and robbed by the rage of the winds, and fragments of mountains left bare by the flood, which fell and swelled rivers overflowed and choked their valleys until they flooded the vast lands and their inhabitants,” the continuation of the article draws attention.
