I, Mona Lisa
£9.99
In Leonardo da Vinci’s studio, bursting with genius imagination, towering commissions and needing patrons, as well as discontented muses, friends and rivals, sits the painting of the Mona Lisa. For 500 tumultuous years, amid a whirlwind of power, money, intrigue, the portrait of Lisa del Giocondo is sought after and stolen. Over the centuries, few could hear her voice, but now she is ready to tell her own story, in her own word – a tale of rivalry, murder and heartbreak. Weaving through the years, she takes us from the dazzling world of Florentine studios to the French courts at Fontainbleau and Versailles, and into the 20th century.
