Leonardo Da Vinci did not paint the Mona Lisa!
When a long-lost journal of Leonardo da Vinci is discovered that
suggests two of his apprentices were responsible for painting
the Mona Lisa, their only living descendant races to reveal the
truth behind art history's greatest mystery before forces tied
to da Vinci's estate can stop her.
The screenplay tells the story of Leonardo Da Vinci's last
journal being discovered in 2017 during renovations at his
former home, the Chateau du Clos Luce in France. The journal
reveals that Da Vinci's apprentices Peter Burrows and Roberto
Wikkingsford were the true artists behind the Mona Lisa, with
another apprentice's friend Anna Spinelli as the model. Da Vinci
is portrayed as having taken credit for their work. The journal
is authenticated and passed to Peter's last living relative, Dr.
Valerie Evans, who writes a book revealing the truth. This
causes controversy with the powerful Melzi family who manage Da
Vinci's estate. After legal battles, the truth prevails, and
credit is formally given to the apprentices. The fame of the
Mona Lisa endures, with the revelation adding to its mystique.
The story oscillates between Renaissance Florence, filled with
art and political tension and the present where Dr. Valerie
Evans reveals the truth about the Mona Lisa, the most famous
smile in the world, and Leonardo Da Vinci.
