摘要

The object of this research is a“Bacchus”created in 1510-1515 by Leonardo da Vinci.By moving the detail of the painting,the map of North America is obtained,on which the present United States and Mexico are imprinted.The detail was drawn along the pale lines.The map we have shown in the painting is almost identical to the modern map of North America.The right part of the map shows a tree.In our opinion,Leonardo symbolically painted a tree of life,associated with the newly discovered land at that time.
