I Mona Lisa

How long does a painting live for? How many people live and die as it remains ever watchful?

Welcome to the dazzling world of Leonardo da Vinci's studio. It's bursting with genius imagination, hard graft, towering commissions and needling patrons, as well as discontented muses, friends (such as the amiable Raphael) and rivals (the aggressively brilliant Michelangelo).

A whirlwind of politics, money, intrigue and power surrounds this simple portrait of Lisa Gherardini and, over five hundred tumultuous years, we watch as she becomes sought-after, stolen and, finally, infamous. Except for a chosen few who can hear her voice, she surveys everything, silently, all the while.
