FACE FACTS

I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES WHEN I FIRST SAW IT. Siegfried Woldhek

In The Da Vinci Code, Paul Bettany was so pale that he was practically translucent. You could just about see his heart beating through his skin. The extraordinary appearance of his character, Silas, a slightly over-zealous albino church-goer, would no doubt have raised a few eyebrows at any morning communion. But what about Da Vinci himself? Despite his Mona Lisa, his Vitruvian Man, his Last Supper and all the vivid faces we see in them, not to mention his Hollywood makeover, no images of The Renaissance Man himself seem to exist. In this short film courtesy of TED, Siegfried Woldhek reveals his belief that he has finally cracked this 500 year old code.
