Lost Leonardo Recovered

Just heard via Ben Sweeney who's working on syndactyly in Leonardo. Ben tells me that Leonardo's Madonna of the Yarnwinder (left), stolen from the Duke of Buccleuch in 2003, has been recovered. The Times has the story here. This has yet to be confirmed of course, but if true, will prove to be the greatest art find for several years.

Ben's web site can be found here; he currently has an article under consideration with the medical journal, the Lancet, and I gather there are plans for an interdisciplinary conference at Harvard. Good luck to him with both!
