It does not even need requiting. All it needs is itself.'Florence, 1502. Marshal Louis de La Tre?mouille's small army has stopped off en route to Naples, to buy objects d'art for King Louis XII of France. Naturally, Leonardo da Vinci's workshop is on the shopping list; and during their visit to his house, the young nobleman de Bougainville chances upon the not-quite-finished Mona Lisa. He promptly, utterly and hopelessly falls in love with the woman in the painting, and is determined to find her - despite rumours that she has long ago died. A visit to an empty tomb, assault upon an Italian nobleman's mansion, duel and execution later, the secret of la Gioconda's smile is (possibly) revealed.An entertaining story, told with style - about love, life, art, and the Quixotic things that a man will do to realise his dream. 410 0$aPushkin Collection 517 $aPushkin Collection 607 $aItaly$xHistory$y1492-1559$vFiction 607 $aItaly$2fast 676 $a833.912 700 $aLernet-Holenia$b Alexander$0457593 701 $aAvsey$b Ignat$01247685 701 $aGower$b Neil$01178485 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154680803321 996 $aMona Lisa$92892184 997 $aUNINA
