1966 unveiling of Leonardo's Portrait of Ginevra de' Benci at the National Gallery of Art, DC

Today marks the 59th anniversary of the unveiling of Da Vinci's Ginevra de' Benci - the only Leonardo in the Western Hemisphere. 4,427 visitors showed up that day to welcome the new girl to town!
My novel, Bird Flies, tells the story of her journey to the US.
