Further observation of a recent discovery of a Renaissance metalcut Plate of Leonardo Da Vinci's 'Last Supper,' brought forth by art scholar and Harvard Art Fellow James Constable, reveal micro engravings - a technique most commonly used by highly skilled jewelers. Made famous by world renowned ancient Greek gem engraver Apelles, micro engravings on the metalcut are believed to have been crafted by Da Vinci and can be seen on the metalcut in a magnified state. Also found in the metalcut, as a way of paying respect to Apelles, is the side profile of Greek orator Demosthenes, the face of whom Apelles carved into a Ruby ring now preserved at the J. Paul Getty Museum.
