The Lady with an Ermine is a picture of Cecilia Gallerani, a young person in the Milanese court who was special lady to Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan.

Mr Cotte, who is a prime supporter of Lumiere Technology in Paris, has spearheaded another strategy called Layer Amplification Method (LAM).
It meets expectations by anticipating an arrangement of extreme lights on to the painting. A cam then takes estimations of the lights' appearance and from those estimations, Mr Cotte is then ready to dissect and recreate what has happened between the layers of the paint.
Emulating the disclosure, new speculations have now been connected to the well-known representation, including a proposal the craftsman may have brought the ermine into the painting to symbolize Gallerani's darling, later upgrading the creature to compliment his supporter.
An alternate hypothesis is that Gallerani asked the craftsman to include the creature into the painting, so that the Milanese court was made completely mindful of her association with the Duke.
Clean home
Mr Cotte said: "The LAM procedure provides for us the ability to peel the painting like an onion, evacuating the surface to see what's occurring inside and behind the diverse layers of paint.
"We've found that Leonardo is continually altering his opinion. This is somebody who delays - he deletes things, he includes things, he alters his opinion over and over."
Martin Kemp, Emeritus Professor of the History of Art at the University of Oxford, said: "What Pascal Cotte is uncovering in France is noteworthy.
"It lets us know a ton all the more about the way Leonardo's brain worked when he was doing a painting. We realize that he fiddled around a decent arrangement at the starting, however now we realize that he continued fiddling around all the time and it aides clarify why he had so much trouble completing depictions.
"Leonardo is interminably entrancing, so getting this close knowledge into his brain is exciting."
The painting fits in with the Czartoryski Foundation and is generally on presentation at the National Museum in Krakow, Poland. It is presently hanging in adjacent Wawel Castle while the Museum experiences redesign.
