Summary:
Archival prints, photographs, reproductions, and illustrations introduce the reader to the world and life of Leonardo da Vinci, painter of the Mona Lisa.

Teaching Ideas:
This book contributes historical reference and context for a text set on Leonardo da Vinci. Students especially interested in art may want to discuss or write about his style. Readers could select another lesser known event from the timeline to research and write about (Pineapples brought to London, for example). The book was published with The Stolen Smile.
