It’s true, the Mona Lisa has a twin who lives in Spain.
The Prado in Madrid has been home to what many considered a knock-off for years.
Until it came down for restoration a few years ago, no one even knew that there was scenery behind a layer of black paint.
Now, it turns out the Mona Lisa has a sister.
Or, is there something even more interesting going on?

I have my theories about how it’s possible that two of these beauties exist. Time to go finish what may be like the twentieth book on the Mona Lisa that I have read since I started researching her for Woman On The Wall.
My plan is to go hang out with her in person this Fall on a solo research trip—first stop, Paris. After that, I’m headed for the bucolic hills of Amboise to hang with da Vinci himself and see if I can discover some of my own answers about our La Gioconda.
2023 update:
Well, the research paid off. I ended up using these mysteries to create a fictional mystery of my own in Woman On The Wall. This version of history has forgeries of the Mona Lisa. They were made and placed all over France to throw the Nazis off her trail. Check out Woman On The Wall for more.
