In 1515, the French King invited Leonardo to the royal summer home, Château du Clos Lucé, near Amboise. Now in his 60s, Da Vinci reportedly traveled by mule across the mountains from northern Italy to central France, carrying with him sketchbooks and unfinished artwork.
A Drawing Exists
A drawing exists! It’s not a slip of the pen
Or a will o' the wisp, a drawing exists,
I must insist.

Obviously it could not come to light
But there it is, and Leonardo and Mona
Lisa are not wasting the nights.
