Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Leonardo was a beautiful man at 51. He wore a short, rose-colored tunic and a cloak of deepest green velvet, which was given to him by Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan. He visited the barber regularly and his cheeks were smooth. #2 Leonardo’s studio is always cool, but Lisa constantly needs to have a fire lit. She is always searching for something, but she doesn’t like me. Leonardo is more diplomatic, and he tries to explain to her that a painting is visual poetry. #3 I am not like the other artists who have come before me, who glance demurely at the floor or their clasped hands. I am a revolutionary, and I will change the world, but only for those who wish to see. #4 When Leonardo was drawing my hands, he was constantly making adjustments to the angles of my fingers. He was also drawing and redrawing Niccolò Machiavelli’s hands.

Ouça minha história. Vale a pena ouvir minhas aventuras. Vivi muitas vidas e fui amada por imperadores, reis e ladrões. Sobrevivi a sequestro, agressões, revolução e duas guerras mundiais. Mas esta também é uma história de amor. E a história do que fazemos por aqueles que amamos. No ateliê de Leonardo da Vinci, que esbanja imaginação genial, comissões imponentes e patronos intrometidos, bem como musas, amigos e rivais descontentes, está a pintura de Mona Lisa. Por quinhentos anos tumultuosos, em meio a um turbilhão de poder, dinheiro e intrigas, o quadro é visado e roubado. Durante séculos, poucos conseguiram ouvir sua voz. Mas agora Mona Lisa está pronta para contar a própria história, em suas próprias palavras – uma história de rivalidade, assassinato e corações partidos. Oscilando entre eras, ela nos leva desde o mundo deslumbrante dos ateliês florentinos às cortes francesas em Fontainebleau e Versalhes, e até mesmo ao século XX. Eu, Mona Lisa é uma história deliciosamente vívida, compulsiva e esclarecedora a respeito de mulheres perdidas e esquecidas através da História.

Artemisia Gentileschi, born in 1598, the daughter of an esteemed painter, taught art in Naples and painted the great women of Roman and biblical history: Esther, Judith, Cleopatra, Bathsheba. She also painted the rich and royal, but her wealthy male patrons wanted admiration while her women models wanted disguise. This woman, who had been violated in her youth and reviled as a rap victim in a public trial before going off to heretical England, who was rejected by her father and later abandoned by her husband and misunderstood by her daughter, who could not read or write but who could only paint—this woman was one of the first modern times to uphold through her work and deeds the right of women to pursue careers compatible with their talents and on an equal footing with men. Artemisia lives again in Anna Banti's novel, which was first published to critical acclaim in Italy in 1947 (Banti was the pseudonym of Lucia Lopresti, 1895-1978). Recognized as a consummate stylist, she was one of the most successful women writers in Italy before the resurgence of the feminist movement. Although Artemisia describes life in seventeenth-century Rome, Florence, and Naples, the time setting of the novel is, in a deeper sense, a historical, merging as it does the experience of a woman dead for three centuries with the terrors of World War II experienced by the author. Shirley D'Ardia Caracciolo's English translation of Banti's novel skillfully renders its complexity and poignancy as a study of courage.
