Thomas Schlesser is a French Art Historian whose new novel, Mona’s Eyes is a brilliant way of exploring the great museums of Paris.  When Mona, his title character, is in danger of losing her sight, her grandfather, Henri, decides to show her one work of art a week for a year in the hopes that she can absorb all the beauty of the world before she goes blind. It is not just the touching story of a wonderful French girl and her grandfather visiting art, but also an amazing course in Art History.  From Botticelli to Basquiat, Thomas will tell you the history and stories behind some of the world’s greatest.  Join us as we talk to him about these fifty two works, his unforgettable characters and why it took him ten years to write.
