Relates, from the point of view of his servant Salai, how Leonardo da Vinci came to paint the Mona Lisa.
* The greatest artist of his time
* An apprentice with a larcenous heart and an aversion to the truth
* A young duchess whose plain face belies her beautiful soul
Could the complex ways these three lives intertwine hold the key to a historical riddle as enigmatic as the Mona Lisa’s smile – why Leonardo da Vinci devoted three years to a painting of second wife of an unimportant merchant when all the nobles of Europe were begging for a portrait by his hand?
Only a master storyteller like E. L. Konigsburg could create such an intriguing answer to the puzzle behind the most famous painting of all time.
