Did you know Leonardo Da Vinci wasn't the only painter in our past intentionally hiding codes and secret messages in artwork? Renaissance painter Hans Holbein was renowned for his portrait of Henry VII, but I am interested in his mysterious painting titled The Ambassadors, a Tudor age portrait of two noblemen surrounded by: a crucifix, a distorted image of a human skull, a lute with a broken string, swastikas patterns in the table cloth fabric, several alchemist symbols, a Cosmati floor pattern, an open book displaying the words "Divide", a cylindrical sundial, an astronomical globe, a polyhedral sundial, a damask curtain, a compass and set squares, an empty flute case, a Lutheran hymnbook, a hymnbook showing The Ten Commandments, and a gold medallion depicting St Michael. There is more, much more, but most fascinating to me are the musical clues I found throughout Hans Holbein the Younger' esoteric painting The Ambassadors, in the future, I might even incorporate a Holbein code into a song. As for Holbein himself, he was an enigmatic persona of the Renaissance era; he left the world with almost nothing to describe his life in great detail. Besides the intricately precise works of art, Holbein left no diary, journal, autobiography, or notebook, to help anyone understand him completely. It's like he existed on this planet for a singular purpose: to create art immortal.

Resources: The Role of Scientific Concepts in Art Jesus R. Soto Leonardo, Vol. 27, No. 3, Art and Science Similarities, Differences and Interactions: Special Issue (1994), pp. 227-230 Doi: 10.2307/1576057 Abstract The author examines how the new concepts of space, time and matter, put forth in science at the beginning of the century, can transform the imaginary world of artists. In this opinion, artists should not try to study the details of scientific theories or concepts, but should instead grasp the fundamental principles and general philosophy underlying these ideas and use them in artistic research. The author illustrates his discussion with examples of his artwork. -- Categories On the Beauty of Physics: Essential Physics Concepts and Their Companions in Art and Literature Science writer & editor, Emiliano Sefusatti; collage artist, John Morse; fine art & literature reviewer, Hilary Thayer Hamann.

I leave you with a quote from Leonardo Da Vinci: "If the painter wishes to see beauties that would enrapture him, he is a master of their production, and if he wishes to see monstrous things which might terrify or which would be buffoonish and laughable or truly pitiable, he is their lord and god. In fact, therefore, whatever there is in the universe through essence, presence or imagination, he has it first in his mind and then in his hands…" In another life I wrote: "Anything in existence, even it's most complex structure or form; anything can be analyzed down to its most basic elements to obtain a greater understanding of its universal meaning, and purpose."
