14 famous works of art with hidden images

Many of the most famous paintings in the world are hundreds of years old.Even after all of this time, modern technology is helping us discover previously unknown "hidden" images concealed in the art.Using art restoration techniques, imaging technology, and even microscopes, art historians have been able to uncover some shocking secrets.People love finding hidden symbols and secret codes in all sorts of objects including art.It might be common knowledge that Da Vinci was an accomplished musician, but not many people know about the song he painted into "The Last Supper," using rolls and hands in the place of music notes.
