Synopsis

The secret of the "Mona Lisa" is revealed

Roberto Zapperi decodes in this book for whom Leonardo da Vinci painted the "Mona Lisa", who he portrayed, and why so many legends surround the picture. The question of who was the woman with the most famous smile in the world has moved viewers of the "Mona Lisa" for almost 500 years and has given rise to entire libraries and even more conjectures. Roberto Zapperi tells a mysterious story from the beginnings of the 16th century: of court life in Urbino with its gallant amours, of cardinals and poets, of an illegitimate child at the papal curia, of Leonardo da Vinci's activity in Rome. And finally, we also learn how and for whom the painting was created, which Leonardo took to France to his new patron after the death of the client and is now the main attraction of the Louvre in Paris. Roberto Zapperi succeeds in reconstructing the true story of the "Mona Lisa" in this book. It is said to say goodbye to "Mona Lisa"

"The find of art historian Roberto Zapperi to the Mona Lisa is more than a hype(...) the identification of the Mona Lisa as Pacifica Brandani, an unknown from Urbino, that has high plausibility."
Horst Bredekamp, Die Zeit
