Birds

The Birds of Asia is John Gould’s masterpiece, published between 1850 and 1883. It contains 530 hand-coloured lithographs featuring some of the most beautifully exotic species (such as trogons, sunbirds, and pheasants). The work represents a monumental achievement in 19th-century ornithological publishing.

The Painting Leonardo da Vinci Secretly Created ?!

Portrait of Luca Pacioli is officially credited to Jacopo de' Barbari.

But some believe that’s not the full story.

Hidden within this Renaissance masterpiece are details so precise, so mathematically advanced, that many historians have questioned whether someone else was involved — someone known for blending art, science, and geometry in ways far ahead of his time.

Someone like Leonardo da Vinci.

From the perfectly rendered geometric solids to the complex mathematical symbolism, this painting raises a fascinating question:

Was this truly the work of Jacopo de’ Barbari… or could Leonardo da Vinci have secretly contributed to it?

In this video, we break down the evidence, the hidden details, and the mystery surrounding one of the most intriguing paintings of the Renaissance.

Because once you start looking closer… things don’t quite add up.
