Liz Klimas reports that "the team, led by Maurizio Seracini, an art diagnostician at the University of California-San Diego who is also a National Geographic Society fellow, found a black pigment and lacquer, which they believe could be da Vinci’s work originally commissioned by Italian statesman Piero Soderini in 1502.'

The AP article reports that 'Maurizio Seracini, an Italian engineer from the University of California at San Diego, told reporters that the fragments of color retrieved by the probe in the palace’s Hall of the 1500s are consistent with pigments used by da Vinci. He said an analysis showed the red, black and beige paint found is consistent with the organic paint the artist used on his frescoes.'
