An online event with Laura Morelli, art historian & USA Today bestselling author of the historical novel,
The Stolen Lady.
In August 1939, Louvre curators carefully removed the Mona Lisa from the wall.
They packed the 500-year-old painted panel into a specially designed, velvet-lined case and then nailed it shut inside a wooden crate.
As the Nazis bore down on Paris, Louvre staff hid some 3,600 priceless works of art into the French countryside. It was the biggest museum evacuation in history and surely one of the most amazing adventures of World War II.
But the famous lady’s story began in Italy some five centuries earlier, when Leonardo da Vinci himself spirited the portrait away from Florence and its patron.
