The controversy over the signing of the Flora bus bust at the Bode Museum in Berlin has led to the final conclusion of Leonardo Da Vinci’s work.
“It’s a machination, it’s an engine,” said the director general of the Berlin Real Museums in his defense when he was criticized for buying a forgery. Wilhelm Bode did not move a centimeter: the sculpture he acquired in 1909 was a production of the great master of the Renaissance Leonardo da Vinci.
A few years ago and a number of controversies, a group of scientists led by a CNRS investigator (National Center for French Investigation) tried to demonstrate a way by which the German student was equated.
The aforementioned bust of this Flora has recently been reported on a radiocarbon date (s. XIV), which has a precise figure and an indisputable result: it was made in the XIX sail, in which 300 years have passed since the death of Da Vinci, inform the CNRS in a communiqué.
As the culture is known mainly as a sperm, a species of extracts from the balls, the investigators need to develop a new method of calibration to fix the work of art.
The results, published in Scientific Reports, show that carbon 14 data can be applied to unique materials.
