%X In early 1480 Leonardo da Vinci left Florence and
moved to Milan, where he received important commissions from the Duke Ludovico
Sforza. The most famous work performed by Leonardo during this period is the ¡°Last
Supper¡±, and the best psychological portrait he has created then is ¡°Lady with
an Ermine¡± in 1490. The women depicted in the painting is Cecilia Gallerani,
Ludovico Sforza¡¯s favorite. Upon closer examination of the painting, we
discovered three details. Through the program Paint X, we moved these details
to the final locations. By moving three details on the painting ¡°Lady with an
Ermine¡± we get the image of a crossed snake. We think that the ermine, who
looks like a mongoose in dimensions, is associated with Ludovico Sforza. In the
crossed serpent, Leonardo implies any danger from which Ludovico protects
Cecilia.
