WARNING: This may contain spoilers from the book. The ending of the book results in the death of Beatrice, which greatly saddens Salai. However, one man requests Salai's master, the great Leonardo Da Vinci to make a painting of his wife whom greatly reminds Salai of Beatrice. In fact,his name is Mr. Giaconda, and his wife's name is Madonna Lisa. Thus The Mona Lisa has been created.
