How Tony Reverse-Engineered the Puzzle |
Here I go again. This time I didn't go to the quiz page. I just clicked on the picture and saved to file. I opened the picture in my photo program to view it and manipulate it. The text I'm typing in wordpad and will copy and paste to the box on quiz page. My first impressions with this image: 1. Because of the color the paper appears to be old. The light brown lines indicate that the paper may have been folded. 2. The language appears to be Italian because of the numbers una, dua, quatro. 3. The list with drawings almost looks like a food recipe. 4. The script at the bottom reminds me of how DaVinci used to write on some of his works, in reverse mirror image and also looks inverted. 5. The lighter righting to the right also looks reversed although not inverted and is probably written on the opposite side of the paper. 6. There is a number "14," on its side in the upper right corner. A numbered page or numbered scrap of paper? First I used Google translate to try and find out what some of the words were. "sei pani"= six loaves; "dua minestre di Finochio" = two soups Finochio; "una aringa" = a herring So I searched google images for "davinci paper with recipe". The image was in the pictures which came up but when I clicked on it, it said the image was Michelangelo's shopping list. So I went to the page and found out it was a 16th century shopping list written by Michelangelo. It had drawings of the items on the list because his assistant was illiterate. They gave as some of the items on the list: a herring and two fennel soups {Finochio is fennel]. So I was close. Now I looked at the quiz page to see if I could answer the questions. 1. Michelangelo's grocery list. In the collection of the Florence museum Casa Buonarroti [from businessinsider.com]. 2. To help his illiterate assistant find the items at the market. 3. Sistine Chapel ceiling. The Piet [saw this at the World's Fair in New York in 1964] Tony Knapp |

The Last Judgment 1523-1541 |
Michelangelo, who died in Rome in 1564, was buried beneath a monument with allegorical figures of Sculpture, Architecture and Painting, designed by Giorgio Vasari. Michelangelo's tomb served as the model for others, such as the tomb of Galileo, who died in 1642 (his monument was made by Giovanni Battista Foggini). The figure of architecture - the one on the right - is by Giovanni dall' Opera. The central figure represents Painting and is by Lorenzi ; while the third represents Sculpture and was executed by Cioli. |
