Does the Da Vinci code have anything to do with Leonardo da Vinci?

Question

I really need this information I am doing a project for my social studies class. So answer ASAP please.

Pleaze if u have something rude to say dont answer this question! I have no use for mean opinions. So keep them,opinions like are you stupid!!

Answer 1

Yes- the whole book is a fictionalized account of a cryptographer finding out that Leonardo da Vinci used his paintings to communicate things about the Bible that were kept under wraps by Catholics. In the book, it is claimed that when da Vinci painted The Last Supper, he included Mary Magdalene in the painting, though it was believed to be Judas. The book claiimed that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were actually married with a baby when he was killed, and that as a result, he has descendants roaming the planet today.

Answer 2

First, one might suspect a writer, who claims to have found secrets in the works of Leonardo da Vinci, who refers to him as "da Vinci. as if it were his last name. Are there secrets in the Mona Lisa? I think there are, but Leonardo didn't even name the painting. There are legitimate reasons to suspect that Leonardo painted himself into the painting, but I wouldn't take much that Dan Brown says as even remotely true. He gets so many facts wrong that it takes someone familiar with the period to decipher the truth.
One of the main points Brown makes is that The Last Supper contains a portrait of Mary Magdalene and omits the apostle John. Unfortunately, the prevailing opinion at the time and even with many in the present is that John had to be very young in order to have written both the book(s) of John and Revelation. Hence John would appear very young or beardless and effeminate in the painting. Unfortunately, the 4 gospels were not written by any of the apostles, but that's something that makes the Baptists mad. if you are looking for truth from paintings, why don't we ask why everyone is on one side of the table?
In sum, yes, there is a lot in the book that has to do with Leonardo, but not a lot which stands up to scrutiny. After the book told me that the Council of Nicea was a vote on the divinity of Jesus, I realized the whole thing was just a con. I suggest you read the book, but get a copy from the library. It's easy reading.

WHERE DID YOU GET THE IDEA FOR THE DA VINCI CODE?
This particular story kept knocking on my door until I answered. I first learned of the mysteries hidden in Da Vinci's paintings while I was studying art history at the University of Seville in Spain. Years later, while researching Angels & Demons and the Vatican Secret Archives, I encountered the Da Vinci enigma yet again. I arranged a trip to the Louvre Museum where I was fortunate enough to view the originals of some of Da Vinci's most famous works as well as discuss them with an art historian who helped me better understand the mystery behind their surprising anomalies. From then on, I was captivated. I spent a year doing research before writing The Da Vinci Code.

HOW DID YOU GET ALL THE INSIDE INFORMATION FOR THIS BOOK?
Most of the information is not as "inside" as it seems. The secret described in the novel has been chronicled for centuries, so there are thousands of sources to draw from. In addition, I was surprised how eager historians were to share their expertise with me. One academic told me her enthusiasm for The Da Vinci Code was based in part on her hope that "this ancient mystery would be unveiled to a wider audience."

Answer 5

Yes, there are some liks between the clues in the book and the works of Da Vinci.

Answer 6

Yes it has everything to do with Da Vinci. There is to much to tell in a paragraph you need to either get the book on tape or start reading!

Answer 7

Well, not really. It is really a story about a quest through Da Vinci's work. The author just made a conspiracy really to make a book and make $$.

Answer 8

Da Vinci is portrayed as a former head of the conspiracy guarding the "truth" about Jesus Christ. In the novel he is said to have planted various codes and secret symbols in his work, particularly in his painting of the Last Supper. According to the novel, this painting depicts Jesus' alleged wife, Mary Magdalene, next to him as a symbol of her prominence in his true teaching. In reality, the figure that Dan Brown identifies as Mary Magdalene is John the Evangelist, who traditionally has been regarded as the youngest of the apostles and so is often pictured in medieval art without a beard.

Answer 9

The film is about deciphering a series of clues that are hidden one example is a clue that was hidden in Da Vinci's Bi-centenial man.

Watch the film it's a recent release
