My Personal Investigation of The Da Vinci Code and It's Parallelism with My Self-Portrait

The Da Vinci Code
by Dan Brown

Dan Brown's Fact:
The Priory of Sion - a European secret society founded in 1099 - is a real organization. In 1975 Paris's Bibliotheque Nationale discovered parchments known as Les Dossiers Secrets, identifying numerous members of the Priory of Sion, including Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Leonardo Da Vinci.

The Vatican prelature known as Opus Dei is a deeply devout Catholic sect that has been the topic of recent controversy due to reports of brain washing, coercion, and a dangerous practice known as "corporal mortification." Opus Dei has just completed construction of a $47 million National Headquarters at 243 Lexington Avenue in New York City.

Self-Portrait
by Paolo Ysmael Tenorio Salazar

My Fact:
My self portrait was completed before I ever heard of and, possibly, before The Da Vinci Code was published. When the novel's plot unraveled, I immediately realized surprising and somewhat disturbing parallels between Dan Brown's novel and my self-portrait.

It is true that at the time I created my self-portrait, I was inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci.
