Abstract

Using image processing, a portrait of a young man, probably a self-portrait of Leonardo da Vinci, is restored. Merging this portrait with the self-portrait in red chalk, we can have the features of a middle-aged Leonardo. This digital portrait can be compared with the image of Plato, depicted by Raphael in the Scuola di Atene, generally considered as a portrait of Leonardo. Here we propose discussion and comparison of these two images.

Keywords: Raffaello Sanzio, Leonardo da Vinci, Image Processing, Raphael
