MONA LISA MYTH

Joey Amato, Neighbor

 



A Mona Lisa canvas recently discovered in a Swiss vault is
the true likeness of a Florentine merchant’s wife, whereas the Mona Lisa
in the Louvre is actually an allegorical representation of Mary, known as the Madonna
Annunziata. These are two of several new revelations about the world’s most
famous portrait, presented in the book The Mona Lisa Myth by National
Geographic bestselling author Jean-Pierre
Isbouts. On Saturday, December 7,
2013, during a special event in Beverly Hills, these and other
revelations will be presented in detail as described in the new book "The Mona Lisa Myth." The event will
commence at 12:00 noon at Galerie
Michael: 224 N. Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, with a presentation by the authors
to follow at 12:30 pm. For more info, call (310) 273-3377 or visit http://galeriemichael.com
