?Defragging The da Vinci Code: Will the real Leonardo please raise your hand? November 14, 2005

Free lecture and slide presentation, featuring works of the great masters from Giotto through the High Renaissance

?In his smoke and mirrors thriller The Da Vinci Code, a tale spun around a quest that holds the key to a ?breathtaking historical secret,? Brown fashions a mélange of cult, legend, and fact into a fabric that, for many, blurs the boundary between fact and fiction.  Art History, too, holds its own form of magic in the revelations brought to bear through iconography and restoration that help to unravel history from storytelling.?
