'It's a Leonardo,' Calgary art expert David Bershad declares St. Mary's University professor joins team of experts in ruling on da Vinci self-portra

The portrait of a middle-aged man -- an oil-on-wood painting once used as a serving tray -- is likely the image of Leonardo da Vinci done by the hand of the master himself, says a panel of experts, including a Calgary art historian.

A baker's dozen of scientists and David Bershad, an art history professor at St. Mary's University College in south Calgary, are all in agreement. The image of a man with blue eyes, long greying hair and a moustache appears to be a self-portrait of the Renaissance artist and inventor.
