Pascal Cotte, French scientific engineer and photographer of fine art, invented a 240-million pixel camera to photograph the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, allowing for the most accurate recreation of the masterpiece for the very first time in its original colour and the unveiling of 25 startling revelations.

Revolutionary technology bringing science and art together, just as Leonardo did over 500 years ago.

Inside the exhibition will be:

• The unveiling of the 25 secret revelations about the priceless and world’s most famous painting: Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa.”
• A 4m x 3m giant infrared photograph showing details of the masterpiece never before seen
• Extraordinary details of previously undisclosed and new discoveries about the masterpiece.
• The most accurate replica of the Mona Lisa ever made, without the frame and on wood displayed as a 360° walk around piece.
• The ability to examine and compare displays of her colour as she is now, her original colour in 1506, and her colour with varnish removed.
• Amazing high definition giant images of the painting and various sections, at a resolution of 1500dpi revealing incredible details that cannot be seen under normal conditions by the human eye
• Pascal reveals how he and his team were allowed unprecedented access to the Mona Lisa by The Louvre – to photograph the painting “in the nude” (outside of its frame and without its protective enclosure) and make scientific examinations that resulted in the secrets revealed and on display at Da Vinci - The Genius.
