PERMANENT EVENTS
"Re-Thinking Monnalisa", The Biltmore - Miami - 19, 20, 21 November 2009
The "Re-Thinking Monna Lisa Gherardini" project was conceived in June 2008 in Florence springing from a desire to support the thesis put forward by Vasari.
In fact, the renowned historiographer asserted that Leonardo Da Vinci found in Lisa Gherardini his inspiring muse for the portrait of the enigmatic and fascinating Gioconda.
Twelve contemporary artists - painters, designers, graffi tists - have reinterpreted the "Gioconda" and reproduced the famous painting on G-logo printed mega panels, thus expressing different techniques and feelings.
This bag, produced in a limited edition, features an original interpretation of one of these twelve exclusive works of art.
