Leonardo of Florence --
- Leonardo of Milan --
- On the highest mountain --
- The restless years --
- The faces of the angel.
The portrait of a bearded man universally accepted as a self portrait is actually a drawing of Leonardo's father. The subject of the Mona Lisa was not the wife of a merchant but the Duchess of Mila.(Among the illustrations in the book are two earlier, seldom seen Mona Lisas.) Leonardo was not the son of a peasant woman, as it is thought he was, but of a highborn woman.
