Message mystery is hidden in famous ancient paintings

Behind the famous paintings hides secrets that sometimes it takes hundreds of years for people to discover.

The Ambassadors is a famous painting of German artist Hans Holbein. This whole picture may look very normal until you notice a "strange object" between the two men in the picture. If viewed from the right, the object appears to be a deformed skull. Some people think this skull is the symbol for the Latin phrase "memento mori" , meaning "remember that you will die". "Memento mori" is said to be an maxim of the man on the left of the painting - French Ambassador Jean de Dinteville.

The circular fuzzy object in the famous painting "Madonna with Saint Giovannino" by Domenico Ghirlandaio has been the focus of controversy for many years.Some people even think it is an image of an alien spacecraft.Although it may not look very similar here, when zoomed in, this object actually takes the shape of a UFO.

The "Creation of Adam" painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel depicts unbelievably accurate the shape of the human brain.Does this reflect the view of Michelangelo, that is, God is the creation of the human brain?No one can confirm that, but this interesting finding shows a fresh look at one of the most classic works in history.

The song hidden in the painting "The Last Supper" is the best evidence for "Da Vinci code".An Italian musician discovered that the arrangement of items on the table and the hand posture of Jesus and the apostles were a symbolic sign for the notes.

Some believe that Vincent Van Gogh paid homage to Da Vinci through his painting "Café Terrace at Night" .Specifically, there are 12 people in the cafe representing the 12 apostles while the waiter in the middle is shaped like Jesus.There is also a cross symbol behind the waiter's back on the windowpane.

Although not easily discovered, Italian artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio painted a tiny self-portrait in his "Bacchus" painting .This self-portrait was first discovered in 1922, more than 300 years after it was completed but then it was forgotten after years of poor preservation.However, this detail was rediscovered in 2009 thanks to modern technology.

When the painting "Scheveningen Sands" was painted in the 1600s, it showed a group of people gathered on the beach around a whale.However, after that, the animal was painted on, leaving a group of people gathered around something invisible.Later, paintings restorators discovered something like a person hovering in the air, but it was actually a whale's fin.Commenting on why the whale was painted on, restorer Shan Kuang said it was not good to describe an animal that died in the paintings in the 18th and early 19th centuries.

Based on the view of Michelangelo's David , you can see two completely different stories.If viewed from the bottom, the expression on David's face seemed quite calm and peaceful but when looking straight into the face of the statue, David was clearly showing a fearful, or perhaps angry expression.

Art historian Chiara Furgoni discovered the face hidden among the clouds in the mural by painter Giotto at Basilica of St Francis in Assisi , Italy in 2011, 700 years after the painting was completed.

The new "Netherlandish Proverbs" may look like nothing special except the busy Dutch street scene, but if you look closely you will see that each image is a message of life.For example, a fish eating a metaphorical fish for "big fish swallowing small fish", or a man holding an implicit globe for holding the world in his palm.
