Helpful Score: 2

A fascinating story, spanning centuries. From the 15th century to the 20th, from DaVinci's brilliance to the horror of the Nazis. The story surrounds Da Vinci's portrait, Lady with an Ermine. The subject of the portrait, the artist himself, and two brave people caught up in the nightmare that was WWII, trying to save the art that the Nazis decided they (ie Hitler) wanted. What they did to save these works of art, and ultimately the very culture of a people is a fascinating story. Never forget-when you take the art, be it paintings, statues, whatever, away, you will take away the culture of a nation/people/religion and no longer remember what happened. Well written.
