Is this the face of Leonardo Da Vinci? Siegfried Woldhek's discovery, on TED.com
Unveiled at TED2008: We all know Leonardo Da Vinci’s life and work — but until now, we have not known what he looked like as a man. Illustrator and activist Siegfried Woldhek used some thoughtful image-analysis techniques to find what he believes is the true face of Leonardo. Announcing his discovery for the first time at last month’s TED conference, he walks us through exactly how he did it. (Recorded February 2008 in Monterey, California. Duration: 04:18.)

Is there any way to get a high quality jpg of that final image, with the four pictures of Leonardo above his signature? It’s truly striking.
