Robert Edsel's book, Rescuing Da Vinci, is the first comprehensive photographic telling of the Nazi theft of Europe's greatest art and the Allied recovery of it. In this illustrated lecture, the author shares his passion for the largely unknown heroics that saved some of the world’s most important masterpieces.
