BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Patrick Barlow.
Celebrating the 500th anniversary of the painting by Leonardo da Vinci. With Desmond Olivier Dingle starring as Leonardo da Vinci and his entire company, Raymond Box, as the Mona Lisa, it is believed that this is the very first time a historic work of art has actually been re-created on radio exactly as it would have been done at the time.
