Angela said he was flipping through the copy of the short manuscript written by Leonardo between 1490 and 1505 when he saw the drawing. ”I noticed that there was a drawing by Leonardo hidden between the words on the tenth page of his codex,” he said. ”After extrapolating the red-chalk portrait with the help a graphic artist, a portrait of a Renaissance man emerged. Given the similarity, I thought that this could well be Leonardo himself”. Angela further said he compared the drawing with other portraits of Leonardo, and principally with Leonardo’s known self portrait of c. 1512-15, asking for help from a scientific investigation bureau in Rome.
