The Mona Lisa Myth is a multimedia project consisting of a 2013 book and a 2014 documentary film, produced in tandem by Renaissance scholar and art historian Jean-Pierre Isbouts,[2] with physician and art collector Christopher Heath Brown as co-author of the book and as a producer of the documentary, the latter with narration by Morgan Freeman.

[6] Describing his first examination of the Isleworth Mona Lisa, Isbouts related that he was "sceptical but intrigued",[7] stating, "I walked into the vault, it was very cold in there, and I spent about two hours with that painting.

[8] One author notes: "In their book The Mona Lisa Myth, art historians Jean-Pierre Isbouts and Christopher Heath Brown suggest that there is historical evidence pointing to the painting's authenticity: back in 1550, Leonardo's biographer Georgio Vasari had referred to an unfinished Mona Lisa in his book Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects".

[10] In addition to Morgan Freeman's narration, the film also stars Alessandro Demcenko and Peter Xifo as younger and older versions of Leonardo da Vinci, and Raffaela O'Neill as the painting's subject, Lisa Gherardini.

[4] Isbouts and Brown later co-authored several other books on related subjects, including Young Leonardo: The Evolution of a Revolutionary Artist, 1472-1499 (2017), presenting a theory that Leonardo also painted two versions of The Last Supper, with the second being a replica of the first painted on canvas at the request of Louis XII of France.
