| Publisher Description: Book 5 in the "Life and Travels of da Vinci" series - this historically based novel can also be enjoyed as a stand alone book. The year is 1503. Leonardo da Vinci has almost completed his time of employment with the ruthless Cesare Borgia. But first, Borgia requests Leonardo accompany him on a quick trip to Rome. Does anyone, even the great Renaissance artist, Leonardo the Florentine, ever turn down a request by Borgia and live to tell about it? After seeing his good friend Donato Bramante in Rome, Leonardo is ready to return to Florence and begin painting again. During the next several years he takes on two of his most significant commissions - the portrait that will someday be known to the world as Mona Lisa, and the wall mural of the Battle of Anghiari - even larger than his previous mural, the Last Supper. |
