Painting Mona Lisa is a historical novel by Jeanne Kalogridis about a young Italian woman, Lisa Gherardini who falls in love with Giulano Medici, the son of Lorenzo de' Medici, during the Florentine revolution and amongst all the religious uphevals during the late 15th century.
It's an intricately woven tale of betrayel, love and loss, which unravels the mysteries surrounding Leonardo da Vinci's most famous portrait, Mona Lisa, and it's links with the main character Lisa Gherardini, with added plots and a twist you won't see coming.
