Acerca de esta escucha
An exciting, dual-timeline historical novel about the creation of one of Leonardo da Vinci's most famous paintings, Portrait of a Lady with an Ermine, and the woman who fought to save it from Nazi destruction during World War II.
Milan, 1492: When a 16-year-old beauty becomes the mistress of the Duke of Milan, she must fight for her place in the palace—and against those who want her out. Soon, she finds herself sitting before Leonardo da Vinci, who wants to ensure his own place in the ducal palace by painting his most ambitious portrait to date.
Munich, World War II: After a modest conservator unwittingly places a priceless Italian Renaissance portrait into the hands of a high-ranking Nazi leader, she risks her life to recover it, working with an American soldier, part of the famed Monuments Men team, to get it back.
Two women, separated by 500 years, are swept up in the tide of history as one painting stands at the center of their quests for their own destinies.

Louis Comfort Tiffany, famous for his stained-glass windows, is planning a unique installation at the Paris World’s Fair, the largest in history. At their fifth-floor studio on Fourth Avenue, the artists of the Women’s Division of the Tiffany Glass Company are already working longer shifts to finish the pieces that Tiffany hopes will prove that he is the world’s finest artist in glass. Known as the “Tiffany Girls,” these women are responsible for much of the design and construction of Tiffany’s extraordinary glassworks, but none receive credit.

And Lucia’s father, Aldo, is a black marketeer who draws Giuseppe and Lucia into the underworld - for their protection and to help plant the seeds of resistance.

The 2:00 a.m. call is the first time Lexie Vidler has heard her sister's voice in years. Annie is a drug addict, a thief, a liar - and in trouble, again. Lexie has always bailed Annie out, given her money, a place to sleep, sent her to every kind of rehab. But this time, she's not just strung out - she's pregnant and in premature labor. If she goes to the hospital, she'll lose custody of her baby - maybe even go to prison. But the alternative is unthinkable.

Two teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. In the taverna, hidden beneath garlands of garlic, chili peppers and creeping honeysuckle, Kostas and Defne grow in their forbidden love for each other. A fig tree stretches through a cavity in the roof, and this tree bears witness to their hushed, happy meetings and eventually, to their silent, surreptitious departures. The tree is there when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, and when the teenagers vanish.

But an unexpected offer from the US military has brought her to Lisbon with a new mission: posing as a librarian while working undercover as a spy gathering intelligence. Meanwhile, in occupied France, Elaine has begun an apprenticeship at a printing press run by members of the Resistance.

Good story. I’ve read better, but this was pretty good. It would have been nice to hear what happened to the woman curator.

Intriguing overlay of time frames
The story was captivating enough that I listened to it all, and it was worth the time. However, I found the overly rough German annoying, not because the characters were harsh people but because I've been to Germany and they do not sound like they do in old World War II movies, or Hogan's Heros.

Wonderful story
I enjoyed listening to The Night Portrait and hearing the history surrounding the Monuments Men. The voice of Dominic had such emotion!

Enjoyed the interweaving of the stories of each character. The voices were perfect and added drama to an already intense period of time and place.

Written at a Nancy Drew level
I cannot figure out why this book is so popular. The writing is pedestrian at best. The repetition of phrases at the end and beginning of sections must be the author’s clumsy way of trying to link the sections together and perhaps suggest that the 15 century story of the painting has anything at all to do with the WWII sections. Not a great book.

Ok story
Kept my interest but narration with unnecessary German and Italian accents was annoying. Should only have been used when German, Polish characters were speaking English.

Interesting and Informative Read
I enjoyed this story and how the author wove in the possible origins of the Lady with Ermine painting into to story about the Nazis' grab of priceless artwork during WWII. I knew about Hitler's desire to collect art but had no idea of the extent of it

Narration lacking
Great subject full of historical facts. Some narrators were really good but a couple others, not so much. Accents and emotions overdone. Lots anguish over their situations which were understandable but repeated too much. Otherwise, really enjoyed
