Art lovers around the world are remembering Leonardo da Vinci. He died in France 500 years ago, on May 2, 1519. A British art expert announced on Thursday that Britain’s royal family has a portrait of the famous artist, often known simply as Leonardo. Martin Clayton, a royal art adviser, said the portrait’s owner is Queen Elizabeth II. He added that the image was made by one of Leonardo’s assistants shortly before his death. Clayton said the straight nose and other details look very much like the only other known portrait of Leonardo done in his lifetime. That picture was the work of Italian painter Francesco Melzi. Visitors to London’s Buckingham Palace will have a chance to see the portrait for themselves later this month. It will be on display at the Queen’s Gallery with about 200 drawings from her collection of Leonardo’s works.
