Across the Alps
Leonardo arriving in Amboise
When Leonardo da Vinci set off on his three month arduous journey across the Alps from Italy to Amboise he was sixty-four and unwell. All his worldly goods went into saddle bags: The tools of his trade, a few clothes, notebooks written backwards in mediaeval Latin and three paintings, the Mona Lisa, The Virgin and Child with St. Anne and Saint John the Baptist.
