Digital Technology Enhances da Vinci May 4, 9:29 AM EST They look as alive as the day Leonardo da Vinci painted them: tasty cherries, ripe, red, ready to eat; crackle-fresh peas popping from their pods; a raspberry, so simple, so enticing But random flicks through the pages turn up, for instance, the divine painting of cherries and peas, sketches of churches, animals, trees and people, plans for a flying machine, studies on bird flight and the flow of water, theories on painting, notes on shadow and light, a list of purchases for friends â€â€? the mundane to the sublime Turn a page in the 500-year-old manuscript and marvel as da Vinci rushes on " Just 28 of da Vinci's notebooks survive today, out of at least 50 that his pupil Francesco Melzi is thought to have put together, Forcione said Here, he draws plans for a stairwell, there fearsome-looking swords "Their value is inestimable," Forcione said It's extraordinary But scholar Carmen Bambach says it was because he was a southpaw: Reverse-writing allowed his left hand to stay ahead of his writing and not smear the ink Some notebooks are pocket-sized, barely bigger than a cigarette packet "It is his mind poured onto paper There is no real coherence," said Anna Sconza, who worked on the exhibition catalogue Trying to paint with companions in the studio does not work because "one cannot serve two masters, you will not succeed in being good company and succeed even less in pursuing your reflections on art," he wrote Mere words cannot describe the breadth of subjects da Vinci covered The effect is breathtaking â€â€? like touring the great genius' mind In manuscript A, da Vinci argues that artists should work alone Some authors suggest da Vinci did so to keep his writings secret The 12 originals are displayed open in glass boxes at the exhibition, which also includes 85 da Vinci drawings and 47 works by his pupils and other artists It costs about $11,000 and is generally found only in specialized libraries, Forcione said "These were not notebooks on any one particular subject, but notebooks to record all the ideas that passed through his head in the day Notebook A is bound in white leather and held shut with blue string "It's like a stream of consciousness," said Varena Forcione, an exhibition director He is 10," da Vinci noted in manuscript C, writing of a young apprentice whom scholars believe later became the artist's lover There are also notes about contemporary events, like the death of a French king, and occasional insights into his day-to-day life Notebooks were da Vinci's companions in life, carried around in his pockets and whipped out to sketch what he saw and to jot down his thoughts, said organizers of the exhibition that opens next Friday and runs to July 14 The easiest way to decipher da Vinci's spidery script is to read it in a mirror Normally kept in a bank vault, each yellowing sheet testifies to the insatiable curiosity of the artist, architect, engineer, inventor, theorist, scientist and musician some describe as the ultimate embodiment of a universal man Labeled A through L, they were last exhibited together in 1952 at the Louvre and are kept in a vault at the Bank of France, the central bank "Giacomo came to live with me on the day of the Saint Madelin in 1490 Others are larger, roughly magazine size In the notebooks, da Vinci appears to switch effortlessly between writing and drawing; both are parts of his language Previously, the only way to see copies of all 12 manuscripts was in a book by a Florence, Italy, publishing house Da Vinci wrote in Italian, in a peculiar back-to-front style, from right to left across the page Visitors can flip through the notebooks on six computer screens and click the mouse to zoom in on details "After a page on the human eye, you turn over and there's a page of landscapes " Some 1,080 pages were photographed digitally, work that took six weeks, Forcione said The sketches are so immediate you can almost picture the master artist at work, his mind, hands and soul racing to capture, understand and peel the layers of his world The Louvre says it is exploring the possibility of publishing the virtual notebooks on CD-ROM after the exhibition Using digital technology, the Louvre Museum in Paris, is making da Vinci accessible as never before, photographing 12 of his notebooks â€â€? which have not been exhibited together for 50 years â€â€? so visitors can flip through them with the click of a mouse The 12 in France were stolen by soldiers in 1796 His demeanor contrasted with his behavior at his original arraignment in January, when he was scolded by the judge for arriving 20 minutes late and drew thousands of fans into the street by dancing atop his SUV Levenson and Simon cautioned the added charges could backfire if jurors interpret them as signs of excessive zeal on the part of the prosecution Melville softly and methodically read the 10 counts of the indictment Friday, which supersedes charges filed by Santa Barbara County prosecutors late last year The grand jury indictment said Jackson conspired with "other uncharged co-conspirators and co-conspirators," but the judge ordered that the parts of the indictment identifying them be removed before it was publicly released It was unclear whether the conspiracy charges involved any of the alleged incidents Counts seven to 10 alleged the administering of an intoxicating agent, alcohol, to assist in the commission of a felony The judge said the transcripts of the grand jury proceedings would be turned over to attorneys Monday but will remain under seal Tacopina's law office did not immediately respond to a call for comment Friday â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? AP Special Correspondent Linda Deutsch and Associated Press Writer Ryan Pearson contributed to this report He did not allow them to testify before the grand jury that indicted Jackson Jackson was originally charged with seven counts of lewd or lascivious conduct involving a child under 14 and two counts of administering an intoxicant, reportedly wine, to a child under 14 "It's about the dignity, the integrity, the decency, the honor, the charity, the innocence and the complete vindication of a wonderful human being named Michael Jackson Attorney Joseph Tacopina said his clients, Vincent Amen and Frank Tyson, denied the allegations Jackson was subdued at Friday's appearance, arriving at the courthouse 40 minutes early wearing a dark jacket with a gold crest on its pocket, a red armband, a red tie and dark trousers with gold stripes on each side In addition, any co-conspirators could strike a deal with prosecutors to testify against Jackson, said Dan Simon, an associate professor of law at the University of Southern California 1 and March 31, 2003 Others Could Be Charged in Jackson Case May 1, 5:57 PM EST A conspiracy charge against Michael Jackson signals a new direction in the case, one that could include indictments for other people accused of conspiring with the singer to commit the crimes of abduction, false imprisonment and extortion "I would like to thank the fans around the world for your love and support from every corner of the Earth," said Jackson, adding that he loved Santa Maria and its people A source close to the family has said that around February 2003, when the special aired on ABC-TV, Jackson paid for the family to stay at hotels in Florida and Ventura "We have a lot to say and we're going to do our talking in court," Jackson attorney Steve Cochran said He said he will hold a hearing on the sealing May 28 Jackson associates also discussed the possibility of the family leaving the country, the source said Jackson defended his sleepovers with children, describing the practice as sweet and innocent The grand jury indictment allowed prosecutors to avoid holding a preliminary hearing before the judge to show there is enough evidence to put Jackson on trial He nodded yes " A source close to the case said the witness was the accuser's brother, who stayed with Jackson and the boy at Neverland She said Jackson could be acquitted of the molestation charges but still convicted of conspiring to abduct the child and his family, falsely imprison them and commit extortion by threatening grave consequences if they accused him, Levenson said All the crimes allegedly occurred between Feb "It's not the crime you commit " The conspiracy count alleged 28 individual overt acts involving child abduction, false imprisonment and extortion Mesereau praised the judge and community and pledged a dignified defense Jackson made a brief statement after Friday's hearing, flanked by his parents and two of his brothers Earlier this month, an attorney representing two former Jackson employees said there was speculation that his clients would be charged with intimidation of witnesses in the case Jackson pleaded innocent Friday to a newly unsealed grand jury indictment listing the new conspiracy charge, as well as counts of molestation and giving a child alcohol that were similar to the ones in a previous indictment Amen, who worked for Jackson's production company, was accused of holding the family at Jackson's Neverland estate against its will, he said The conspiracy count could be a significant problem for the defense because the burden of proof is easier for prosecutors to meet than it is in the molestation counts, yet the punishment can be just as severe, said Loyola University law professor Laurie Levenson Counts two to five alleged Jackson committed a lewd act upon a child It's what you do to cover it up," she said The accuser appeared on national TV in a British documentary holding hands with Jackson, who said the two had slept in the same bedroom but not the same bed The defense and prosecutors declined to say Friday who else may be arrested Attorney Thomas Mesereau entered an innocent plea for Jackson, and Melville asked Jackson if that was his plea Count six alleged an attempt to have a child perform a lewd act upon him Judge Rodney S Tyson, who was Jackson's personal assistant, has been accused of threatening to kill the younger brother of Jackson's alleged victim if he revealed to authorities that Jackson had given the boy alcohol, Tacopina said The alleged victim was identified as "John Doe" and a witness to some alleged molestation was identified as "James Doe The attorney said the accusations were false "This case is about one thing only," he said |
