英語原文According to London's National Gallery, the initial designs for the angel and Baby Jesus have been uncovered .
They say in the abandoned composition both figures are positioned higher up, while the angel is looking down on the Infant Christ with a much tighter embrace.
They also find handprints where the artist or an assistant patted down paint on the canvas.
Researchers found the new images in a material that contained zinc, so it could be seen through new imaging technology.
Leonardo painted two versions of "The Virgin of the Rocks".
They have crucial differences in the composition.
The earlier is on display at the Louvre in Paris.
漢語對照倫敦國家美術館日前宣布，在最初的構圖中天使和嬰兒耶穌的設計完全不同。在被達文西放棄的草稿中天使和嬰兒耶穌的位置更高，天使低頭看著嬰兒，抱得更緊。同時他們也發現了由達文西本人或者他的助手在畫布上上色時留下的手印。這次研究人員發現新的草圖是因為材料中含有鋅可以在新的技術下顯示出來。達文西曾創作了兩幅《巖間聖母》，他們在構圖上有很大的差異。另一幅創作更早時間在法國羅浮宮展出。
