I read the DaVinci Code, I'd be interested to see if any of the clues are true. You might want to use the search function, there are many topics on this. -Muzz

I as well read the DaVinci code, pretty witty stuff. Would be interested if any of it where true.

Alot of it is true.

Other than taking your comments from a book of fiction, do you have any real proof of this? I ask, because as an artist I can see Leonardo had a very distinctive style. Now, admittedly, I don't study everything in microscopic detail, but there's no real evidence that I can see of retouching that hides things.

Some of the old masters did reuse canvases, by the way. They're very expensive and if your patron was paying you for something ... but wasn't paying a LOT, then you would reuse canvasses.
