Product Information

On August 21, 1911, the unfathomable happenedLeonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa vanished from the Louvre. More than twenty-four hours passed before museum officials realized she was gone. The prime suspects were as shocking as the crime: Pablo Picasso and Guillaume Apollinaire, young provocateurs of a new art. As French detectives using the latest methods of criminology, including fingerprinting, tried to trace the thieves, a burgeoning international media hyped news of the heist. No story captured the imagination of the world quite like this one. Thousands flocked to the Louvre to see the empty space where the painting had hung. They mourned as if Mona Lisa were a lost loved one, left flowers and notes, and set new attendance records. For more than two years, Mona Lisa's absence haunted the art world, provoking the question: Was she lost forever? A century later, questions still linger. Part love story, part mystery, Vanished Smile reopens the case of the most audacious and perplexing art theft ever committed. R. A. Scotti's riveting, ingeniously realized account is itself a masterly portrait of a world in transition. Combining her skills as a historian and a novelist, Scotti turns the tantalizing clues into a story of the painting's transformation into the most familiar and lasting icon of all time.

This rollicking tale makes for fascinating reading." -The Christian Science Monitor "Reads like a prose poem with narrative gallop." -Time "Superb. . . . An art-heist page-turner that will delight art enthusiasts as well as true-crime buffs.

  • Vanished Smile

    I enjoyed the book which was one of our book club selections for the year partly because it was mostly fact with a little fiction thrown in. We have since had our meeting about the book and everyone in our club enjoyed it. Some of us are docents at our local art gallery and even though we have never had the Mona Lisa in our presence some of us have visited the Louvre and enjoyed seeing her there. I knew about the theft of the Mona Lisa but never the details. I was amazed that the French were to trusting with every during the early 1900's about their artifacts especially everything at the Louvre. It would have been a real pity had she never been returned. I especially enjoyed how the writer depicted Leonardo and his friends and I tried to imagine them in todays society and found I ...
