Another secret of the world painter Leonardo da Vinci’s paintings was discovered, this time in the oil colors he used, so what was the secret that was the reason for their bright colors remaining unchanged?

Why Da Vinci resorted to this idea?

  • The egg yolk in the paint helps the paintings hold up to moisture, preventing creasing and yellowing.
  • According to experts, adding eggs to oil paintings acts as an antioxidant, meaning this formula helps prevent paint from deteriorating.
  • This method also prevents wrinkles from appearing on old boards.
  • Thus, with a very small amount of egg yolk, artists can achieve amazing changes in the properties of the paint.

Da Vinci’s idea prompted scientists to research the habits of international painters, perhaps there are ideas that may help preserve priceless artwork.
