Listen to my history My adventures are worth hearing I have lived many lifetimes and been loved by emperors kings and thieves I have survived kidnap and assault Revolution and two world wars But this is also a love story And the story of what we will do for those we love
For five hundred years weve been looking at the Mona Lisa and it turns out that shes been looking right back at us Over the centuries few could hear her voice but now we are let into the secret as she tells us her story in her own words a tale of rivalry murder and heartbreak And a mystery of Leonardos greatest lost painting Weaving through the years she takes us from the dazzling world of da Vincis Florentine studio to the French courts at Fontainebleau and Versailles and into the Twentieth Century
But always Mona Lisa returns to Leonardo himself Most of all this is a love story between painting and painter Sometimes it takes an immortal to show us what it is to be human
A treat of a book The Guardian on Mr Rosenblums List
Brims with passion and skillfully evokes a bygone era a beautifully written tale The Times on Mr Rosenblums List
