The most recognised face in the world, but who was she? The author's research to discover the real woman is a biography of the artist, the model and the painting itself, a social, political and cultural history of Florence during the Renaissance and a memoir of the years she spent walking the city's streets where Lisa lived. The book is written with pace and passion and I found it absolutely fascinating.
