During a recent trip to Florence, Italy, I discovered a long-lost and previously unknown masterpiece by the quintessential Renaissance master, Leonardo DaVinci.

As it turns out, the widely-known Mona Lisa was merely a concept painting created in anticipation of DaVinci's true magnum opus: the Amy Lee-sa, which he drew as a tribute to the beautiful and talented (and not yet conceived) Amy Lee from Evanescence. While DaVinci is highly-regarded as an artistic and engineering genius who was far ahead of his time, few people fully understand the incredible prescience of his vision, as he predicted the popularity and success of Amy Lee nearly five hundred years before the singer's birth!

Records indicate that DaVinci created this drawing with Ohuhu alcohol markers and Faber-Castell pastel pencils on 6 x 8in Strathmore toned tan paper.
