Description
You know her face, now you will hear her voice. The Mona Lisa has become the most famous painting of all time, her mysterious smile shrouded in secrecy and raising many questions. In the original interpretation by British writer Natasha Solomons, the painting itself provides the answers. The Mona Lisa is born through the strokes of Leonardo da Vinci's brush. The painter soon hears her voice, and a loving bond forms that lasts until the death of the great master. The Mona Lisa experiences Leonardo's successes and failures and develops a special relationship with her prototype, Mona del Gioconda, as well as with Salai, Leonardo's apprentice and lover. She constantly humorously comments on the surrounding events, but only true geniuses—Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael Santi, and Picasso—can hear her. From Italy, the Mona Lisa travels to France, where she adorns royal castles, meets significant figures, experiences historical twists, abduction, and World War II, until her 'home' becomes the Louvre, where we can see her to this day. But keep in mind that when you look at her, she is also looking at you.
