Description

Book 5 in the "Life and Travels of da Vinci" series - this historically based novel can also be enjoyed as a stand alone book. The year is 1503. Leonardo da Vinci has almost completed his time of employment with the ruthless Cesare Borgia. But first, Borgia requests Leonardo accompany him on a quick trip to Rome. Does anyone, even the great Renaissance artist, Leonardo the Florentine, ever turn down a request by Borgia and live to tell about it? After seeing his good friend Donato Bramante in Rome, Leonardo is ready to return to Florence and begin painting again. During the next several years he takes on two of his most significant commissions - the portrait that will someday be known to the world as Mona Lisa, and the wall mural of the Battle of Anghiari - even larger than his previous mural, the Last Supper.

Author Biography:

Catherine Jaime has been researching and writing about Leonardo da Vinci for almost two decades. From the beginning her goal has been to write books that are family-friendly and enjoyable by adults looking for easy but also informative reads. Catherine's delve into writing about Leonardo started with a small, but fairly complete, biography - Da Vinci: His Life and His Legacy. Several years later, when she was ready to try her hand at writing historical fiction, she naturally started with one of her favorite subjects, Leonardo da Vinci. Over the next several years her "Life and Travels of Da Vinci" series grew to include "Leonardo the Florentine," "Leonardo: Masterpieces in Milan," "Leonardo: To Mantua and Beyond," and "Leonardo: A Return to Florence." She is excited to finally be adding book 5, "Leonardo: A Return to Painting" to her series. This fifth book in the series is the largest one yet - coming in at almost 40,000 words. (None are large by "adult" standards - but all make for nice, easy reads.)
