The Wrong Address

Krzysztof Zanussi in Krakow. The Jagiellonian University. Wawel Hill, the Royal Castle and Cathedral. Czartoryski Museum and Leonardo’s painting, The Lady with an Ermine (Cecilia Gallerani, 1483-1486). Zanussi is saddened that this painting has been overshadowed by the Mona Lisa (La Gioconda, c.1503-1507). Details of each picture, comparing one with another. Zanussi gives information on the sitter and the painting. He believes the Mona Lisa is better known as she has "a better address", the Louvre. Credits.
