The Second Mrs. Gioconda Paperback - 1998

by E. L. Konigsburg

"The riddle of the "Mona Lisa" is solved in a most ingenious reconstruction of the middle years of Leonardo Da Vinci's life. . . . Thoroughly entertaining and believable".--"School Library Journal".


From the publisher

The Mona Lisa... Why did Leonardo da Vinci lavish three years on a painting of the second wife of an unimportant merchant when all the nobles of Europe were begging for a portrait by his hand?
No one knows for sure. But this story of Leonardo, his wayward apprentice Salai, and the Duke of Milan's plain young wife, Beatrice d'Este, may hold the clue to the most famous -- and puzzling -- painting of all time.

First line

WHY, PEOPLE ASK, why did Leonardo da Vinci choose to paint the portrait of the second wife of an unimportant Florentine merchant when dukes and duchesses all over Italy and the King of France as well, were all begging for a portrait by his hand?
