The da Vinci Project, Research Group

Led by Managing Director, Michael W. Domoretsky, the project was founded
in 2005 subsequent to Michael’s initial discovery of the "perpendicular
reverse mirror imaging process”™ ~ images and optical illusions found
within several of Leonardos most famous paintings.

Since the initial discovery, Managing Director Michael W. Domoretsky, and
Director, M Graham Noll, have continued to analyze the art and manuscript
legacy from throughout the whole of Leonardo’s life and have discovered
and catalogued a large number of hidden images, many of which are
reflected mirror constructs from outside the frames of several of da Vinci’s
most famous works, and, others from within the subtle shadowing of the
paintings.

The da Vinci Project Research Group™ utilizes manual techniques that would
have been available to da Vinci, for example, optical magnification and
mirrors, and computers, both Mac and PC platforms, with large high
resolution screens to study and catalogue all of the findings.

It should be noted that Leonardo’s original works are not altered in any
way ~ we do not use any modern day computer imaging manipulation
or transposition tricks in our research or in what we present to the
public. All images are as 'The Master' painted or drew them..

The da Vinci Project is grateful for being granted permission to use
museum grade, high resolution digital images of several of da Vinci’s
works from major museums around the world that are only licensed to
legitimate researchers. These images are used in all primary research
and we would like to express our sincere thanks to each of the curators
for their kind and generous support.

Michael W. Domoretsky, an independent business owner and artist has had
an interest in art since his childhood. He began showing his talent at the
early age of four years old and has been involved with the art world since.
Michael, is recognized as a published and commercialized artist in his own
right, having worked in many mediums including oil, water color, charcoal,
wood carving, wood burning, sculptures and a wide variety of stone. He has
owned art galleries, displaying and selling many kinds of historically based
works. Some of his works have been appraised in the high five figure range
and insured by Lloyds of London. He has been recognized, sponsored and
displayed in the Boston city hall and at State functions by such luminaries as
the former Mayor of Boston, Raymond Flynn, and many other businesses,
patrons of art and government officials over the years. (A partial list of
Michael’s many accolades, achievements and notes of recognition are listed
in the addendum in the bottom of this section.

It was not however, until his mid 40’s that Michael discovered the first of his
many “Pictures within Pictures”, in the most famous of Leonardo's works, the
Mona Lisa. This was to be a critical turning point for Michael. It is the point at
which he changed his direction from producing art, to that of researching
and finding unique and hereto unrecognized discoveries in the artworks of
one of the most famous inventive genius's and art masters in history,
Leonardo da Vinci. Michael has dedicated over three years to intensive
detailed research and study of all aspects of Leonardo, his manuscripts
(Codices), philosophies, and methods. The investigative focus is a holistic
one that encompasses Leonardo’s complete works as one body as opposed
to the usual approach in which each of his works of art are studied
individually.

Michael has approached the subject from the perspective of understanding
first the man from his writings, and, subsequently applying what is known
and surmised from Leonardo’s own written word, to his art and the newly
discovered hidden images and constructs. The discovery of images and
constructs hidden in Leonardo’s works has led Michael to this fascinating
and intriguing point of discovery in his career. The large volume of
information already discovered highlighted the depth and vastness of the
research still to be undertaken and thus, the need for additional resources
and personnel. This precipitated the formation of The da Vinci Project in 2006.

In late 2006 Michael sought out M. Graham Noll to help lead [and assist with
bringing] the project to fruition. Graham is an experienced business mentor,
and consultant in business administration, marketing and operations, with a
background in Science, technology, engineering, computers, business and
experience in technical drawing, metal working, stone work, abrasives, metal
machining, wood working, materials and metal sculpture. He is an advisor to,
and participant in the project, contributing scientific analysis, literary
support, creative and, photographic expertise to the Project.

The Project is grateful to a number of other contributing associates who
have selflessly donated their time and expertise in an effort to further these
very unique Project findings that have eluded detection for over five
hundred years.
