Good morning.

2000
Dobro jutro.
00:14
Let's look for a minute at the greatest icon of all, Leonardo da Vinci.
1
2000
5000
Pogledajmo na minutu najveću ikonu od svih, Leonarda da Vincia.
00:19
We're all familiar with his fantastic work --
2
7000
3000
Svi smo upoznati sa njegovim fantastičnim radom –
00:22
his drawings, his paintings, his inventions, his writings.
3
10000
3000
njegovim crtežima, slikama, izumima, pisanim djelima.
00:25
But we do not know his face.
4
13000
2000
Ali ne znamo njegovo lice.
00:27
Thousands of books have been written about him,
5
15000
3000
Tisuće knjiga su napisane o njemu,
00:30
but there's controversy, and it remains, about his looks.
6
18000
4000
ali postoji kontroverza oko njegovog izgleda.
00:34
Even this well-known portrait is not accepted by many art historians.
7
22000
5000
Čak i ovaj dobro poznat portret nije prihvaćen od strane mnogih povjesničara umjetnosti.
00:39
So, what do you think?
8
27000
2000
Što vi mislite?
00:41
Is this the face of Leonardo da Vinci or isn't it?
9
29000
3000
Je li ovo lice Leonarda da Vincia ili nije?
00:44
Let's find out.
10
32000
3000
Saznajmo.
00:47
Leonardo was a man that drew everything around him.
11
35000
3000
Leonardo je crtao sve oko sebe.
00:50
He drew people, anatomy, plants, animals, landscapes, buildings, water, everything.
12
38000
8000
Crtao je ljude, anatomiju, biljke, životinje, pejzaže, zgrade, vodu, sve.
00:58
But no faces?
13
46000
2000
Ali lica?
01:00
I find that hard to believe.
14
48000
2000
To ne vjerujem.
01:02
His contemporaries made faces, like the ones you see here --
15
50000
3000
Njegovi suvremenici su crtali lica, kao ove što vidite ovdje.
01:05
en face or three-quarters.
16
53000
2000
En face ili tri četvrtine.
01:07
So, surely a passionate drawer like Leonardo
17
55000
3000
Strastveni crtač kao što je Leonardo
01:10
must have made self-portraits from time to time.
18
58000
3000
morao je napraviti autoportrete s vremena na vrijeme.
01:14
So let's try to find them.
19
62000
2000
Pokušajmo ih pronaći.
01:16
I think that if we were to scan all of his work
20
64000
3000
Ako skeniramo sva njegova djela
01:19
and look for self-portraits, we would find his face looking at us.
21
67000
4000
djela i potražimo autoportrete, naći ćemo njegovo lice kako nas gleda.
01:23
So I looked at all of his drawings, more than 700,
22
71000
4000
Pogledao sam sve njegove crteže, više od 700,
01:27
and looked for male portraits.
23
75000
3000
i tražio portrete muškaraca.
01:30
There are about 120, you see them here.
24
78000
3000
Ima ih oko 120, vidite ih ovdje.
01:33
Which ones of these could be self-portraits?
25
81000
2000
Koji od ovih bi mogli biti autoportreti?
01:35
Well, for that they have to be done as we just saw, en face or three-quarters.
26
83000
5000
Moraju biti napravljeni en face ili tri četvrtine.
01:40
So we can eliminate all the profiles.
27
88000
3000
Možemo ukloniti sve profile.
01:43
It also has to be sufficiently detailed.
28
91000
2000
Također mora biti dovoljno detaljno.
01:45
So we can also eliminate the ones that are very vague or very stylized.
29
93000
6000
Možemo ukloniti i one koje su vrlo nejasni ili vrlo stilizirani.
01:51
And we know from his contemporaries
30
99000
2000
Od njegovih suvremenika znamo
01:53
that Leonardo was a very handsome, even beautiful man.
31
101000
3000
da je Leonardo bio zgodan, čak lijep muškarac.
01:56
So we can also eliminate the ugly ones or the caricatures.
32
104000
4000
Možemo također ukloniti ružne slike ili karikature.
02:00
(Laughter)
33
108000
1000
(smijeh)
02:01
And look what happens -- only three candidates remain that fit the bill.
34
109000
5000
Gledajte što se dogodilo – ostala su samo tri kandidata koja odgovaraju.
02:06
And here they are.
35
114000
2000
Evo ih.
02:08
Yes, indeed, the old man is there,
36
116000
2000
Istina, starac je ovdje,
02:10
as is this famous pen drawing of the Homo Vitruvianus.
37
118000
3000
kao i ovaj poznati crtež Homo Vitruvianos.
02:13
And lastly, the only portrait of a male that Leonardo painted, "The Musician."
38
121000
5000
Posljednji, jedini portret muškarca kojeg je Leonardo naslikao, “Glazbenik.”
02:18
Before we go into these faces,
39
126000
2000
Prije nego što analiziramo slike,
02:20
I should explain why I have some right to talk about them.
40
128000
3000
trebao bih objasniti zašto imam pravo pričati o njima.
02:23
I've made more than 1,100 portraits myself
41
131000
4000
Napravio sam 1100 portreta za novine,
02:27
for newspapers, over the course of 300 -- 30 years, sorry, 30 years only.
42
135000
4000
kroz 300 – 30 godina, oprostite, kroz samo 30 godina.
02:31
(Laughter)
43
139000
1000
(smijeh)
02:32
But there are 1,100, and very few artists have drawn so many faces.
44
140000
5000
Ali jako malo umjetnika je nacrtalo 1100 portreta.
02:37
So I know a little about drawing and analyzing faces.
45
145000
3000
Tako da znam ponešto o crtanju i analiziranju lica.
02:40
OK, now let's look at these three portraits.
46
148000
3000
OK, pogledajmo ova tri portreta.
02:43
And hold onto your seats, because if we zoom in on those faces,
47
151000
3000
Držite se za sjedala, jer ako zumiramo ova lica,
02:46
remark how they have the same broad forehead, the horizontal eyebrows,
48
154000
4000
primijetite kako svi imaju široko čelo, horizontalne obrve,
02:50
the long nose, the curved lips and the small, well-developed chin.
49
158000
3000
dugačak nos, zakrivljene usne, i malu, dobro razvijenu bradu.
02:53
I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw that.
50
161000
3000
Nisam mogao vjerovati kada sam prvi put vidio.
02:56
There is no reason why these portraits should look alike.
51
164000
2000
Nema razloga zašto bi ovi portreti trebali sličiti.
02:58
All we did was look for portraits that had the characteristics of a self-portrait,
52
166000
4000
Sve što smo učinili jest da smo gledali portrete koji imaju karakteristike autoportreta,
03:02
and look, they are very similar.
53
170000
2000
pogledajte, jako su slični.
03:04
Now, are they made in the right order?
54
172000
3000
Ali jesu li napravljeni po pravilnom redoslijedu?
03:07
The young man should be made first.
55
175000
2000
Mladić bi trebao biti prvi napravljen.
03:09
And as you see here from the years that they were created,
56
177000
2000
Kao što vidite ovdje, po godinama u kojima su napravljene,
03:11
it is indeed the case.
57
179000
2000
doista je tako.
03:13
They are made in the right order.
58
181000
2000
Napravljene su po pravilnom redoslijedu.
03:15
What was the age of Leonardo at the time? Does that fit?
59
183000
2000
Koliko je godina Leonardo imao tada? Odgovara li to?
03:17
Yes, it does. He was 33, 38 and 63 when these were made.
60
185000
3000
Odgovara. Imao je 33, 38 i 63 kada su te slike napravljene.
03:20
So we have three pictures, potentially of the same person
61
188000
4000
Imamo tri slike, potencijalno od iste osobe
03:24
of the same age as Leonardo at the time.
62
192000
2000
istih godina kao Leonardo tada.
03:26
But how do we know it's him, and not someone else?
63
194000
3000
Ali kako znamo da je to on, a ne netko drugi?
03:29
Well, we need a reference.
64
197000
2000
Trebamo nagovještaj.
03:31
And here's the only picture of Leonardo that's widely accepted.
65
199000
4000
Ovo je jedina slika Leonarda koja je široko prihvaćena.
03:35
It's a statue made by Verrocchio, of David,
66
203000
3000
Verrocchio je napravio taj kip Davida,
03:38
for which Leonardo posed as a boy of 15.
67
206000
2000
kojeg je Leonardo pozirao kao petnaestogodišnji dečko.
03:40
And if we now compare the face of the statue,
68
208000
3000
Usporedimo li lice kipa
03:43
with the face of the musician, you see the very same features again.
69
211000
4000
sa licem glazbenika, opet ćete vidjeti iste osobine.
03:47
The statue is the reference, and it connects the identity of Leonardo
70
215000
3000
Kip je nagovještaj i povezuje identitet Leonarda
03:50
to those three faces.
71
218000
2000
sa ta tri lica.
03:52
Ladies and gentlemen, this story has not yet been published.
72
220000
5000
Dame i gospodo, ova priča još nije objavljena.
03:57
It's only proper that you here at TED hear and see it first.
73
225000
3000
Ispravno je da ju vi na TED-u prvi čujete i vidite.
04:00
The icon of icons finally has a face.
74
228000
3000
Ikona svih ikona je napokon dobila lice.
04:03
Here he is: Leonardo da Vinci.
75
231000
2000
Evo ga – Leonardo da Vinci.
04:05
(Applause)
76
233000
