"Da Vinci painted his own image as Christ."

This is not a well-known claim. More common theories argue the figure to Jesus' right is Mary Magdalene, that the painting hides a "Holy Grail" or secret codes/musical notation, or various speculative prophetic readings — but not that Leonardo portrayed himself as Christ.
