BOOK BASED ON A PAINTING

Set in a dual timeline ranging from 1492, Milan, to Munich during WWII.

We meet Cecilia Gallerani who is the woman in Leonardo Da Vinci‘s “famous portrait Lady with An Ermine.”

Superb storyline and a work of art in itself.

It is a beautiful tribute to artists of the world and to those who fought to preserve it. 5/5

Enjoying this duel timeline of Leonardo da Vinci & Cecilia in 1492 Milan and Edith & Dominic during WWII. I enjoy learning about art history!
Sad my Kindle Paperwhite is not photogenic!

EvieBee It looks beautiful AND sounds very interesting! I know I‘ve got this in my Kindle library. I should dig it out. 3y

tpixie @EvieBee I read the author‘s other book, about Leonardo‘s Mona Lisa, & enjoyed it as well. I believe the author is a college professor of art. A companion book for that is The Last Mona Lisa- By Jonathan Santlofer

Wonderful read! This book goes back and forth between Da Vinci‘s time and WWII. No cliffhangers or plot lines that make you unable to put it down, but it‘s awakened in me a newfound interest in and appreciation for art and art history. All I want to do is spend a Saturday at a museum enjoying paintings thanks to this book!
