Claims that a double take of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper reveals a mysterious extra guest have set off a feeding frenzy among internet conspiracy theorists.
The figure appears when the 15th Century mural painting is superimposed with its mirror image, and both are made partially transparent.
The discovery was made by Slavisa Pesci, an Italian amateur scholar, whose maintains that the composite picture appears to depict a figure (possibly a woman) holding a young child.
The double image is rather blurry and faded, making it difficult to draw any firm conclusions.
But the theory is in line with the supposition of the Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown, which suggests that Jesus and Mary Magdelene could have married and had a child.
Leonardo da Vinci websites received millions of hits following the announcement.
