In a new exhibit, Leonardo3-The World of Leonardo, viewers can take in the renaissance master's work in new ways, including a portrait that comes to life.

The famous painting, "Lady with an Ermine," by Leonardo Da Vinci takes to life, reconstructed in 3D in a new video.
The animation is used in a new multimedia exhibit, "Leonardo3-The World of Leonardo," at the Piazza della Scala in Milan. Using a touchscreen, users can see the portrait moving her eyes, yawning, and caressing her little pet.



The subject of the painting, is thought to be Cecilia Gallerani, one of the lovers of Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan. High definition pictures in the front and the back of the work have made it possible to investigate details invisible to the the naked eye.

The three-dimensional reconstructions of the face of Cecilia portrait front, profile and three-quarter, as well as in-depth historical information on the age were taken into account constructing the digital version.

The interactive installation is the latest addition at the exhibition, which will remain open until the end of Expo 2015 to reveal to visitors from around the world the genius of Leonardo.
