The Second Mrs. Gioconda Paperback - 2005
by E. L. Konigsburg
This classic novel by the Newbery Medalist ("The View from Saturday") explores the mystery behind Leonardo Da Vinci's masterpiece. Could the links between the artist, a lying apprentice, and a young duchess hold the key to the historical riddle of the "Mona Lisa's" smile?
Summary
THE GREATEST ARTIST OF HIS TIME
AN APPRENTICE WITH A LARCENOUS HEART AND AN AVERSION TO THE TRUTH
A YOUNG DUTCHESS 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 the 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 two-time Newberry Medal-winner E.L. Konigsburg could create such an intriguing answer to the puzzle behind the most famous painting of all time.
