The re-emergence of a "lost" painting by Leonardo da Vinci

In 2002, I (Stephen Holmes) learned of the existence of a painting of The Holy Children Embracing supposed to be by Lionardo da Vinci - now Leonardo. Although sceptical at first, in November 2004, I stood next to The Lost Leonardo; and in November 2005 presented the idea to Fulcrum TV for their 2006 documentary.      link to fulcrum

I bought these two books because a painting of the Holy Children Embracing (by Marco d'Oggiono) is in both of them.

"So many copies of this composition exist by pupils of Leonardo that it may be
assumed that it is based on a lost painting from his hand". J.P. Richter 1910 (Mond)

"A similar picture is at Hampton Court. Both appear to be reproductions of a lost
painting by Leonardo". J.P. Richter 1895 (Doetsch)
