Slowing
only
slightly
as
they
reached
the
intersection
,
Sophie
flicked
her
headlights
and
stole
a
quick
glance
both
ways
before
flooring
the
accelerator
again
and
carving
a
sharp
left
turn
through
the
empty
intersection
onto
Rivoli
.
Accelerating
west
for
a
quarter
of
a
mile
,
Sophie
banked
to
the
right
around
a
wide
rotary
.
Soon
they
were
shooting
out
the
other
side
onto
the
wide
avenue
of
Champs
-
Elysées
.
As
they
straightened
out
,
Langdon
turned
in
his
seat
,
craning
his
neck
to
look
out
the
rear
window
toward
the
Louvre
.
The
police
did
not
seem
to
be
chasing
them
.
The
sea
of
blue
lights
was
assembling
at
the
museum
.
His
heartbeat
finally
slowing
,
Langdon
turned
back
around
.
«
That
was
interesting
.
»
Sophie
didn
’
t
seem
to
hear
.
Her
eyes
remained
fixed
ahead
down
the
long
thoroughfare
of
Champs
-
Elysées
,
the
two
-
mile
stretch
of
posh
storefronts
that
was
often
called
the
Fifth
Avenue
of
Paris
.
The
embassy
was
only
about
a
mile
away
,
and
Langdon
settled
into
his
seat
.
So
dark
the
con
of
man
.
Sophie
’
s
quick
thinking
had
been
impressive
.
Madonna
of
the
Rocks
.
Sophie
had
said
her
grandfather
left
her
something
behind
the
painting
.
A
final
message
?
Langdon
could
not
help
but
marvel
over
Saunière
’
s
brilliant
hiding
place
;
Madonna
of
the
Rocks
was
yet
another
fitting
link
in
the
evening
’
s
chain
of
interconnected
symbolism
.
Saunière
,
it
seemed
,
at
every
turn
,
was
reinforcing
his
fondness
for
the
dark
and
mischievous
side
of
Leonardo
Da
Vinci
.
Da
Vinci
’
s
original
commission
for
Madonna
of
the
Rocks
had
come
from
an
organization
known
as
the
Confraternity
of
the
Immaculate
Conception
,
which
needed
a
painting
for
the
centerpiece
of
an
altar
triptych
in
their
church
of
San
Francesco
in
Milan
.
The
nuns
gave
Leonardo
specific
dimensions
,
and
the
desired
theme
for
the
painting
–
the
Virgin
Mary
,
baby
John
the
Baptist
,
Uriel
,
and
Baby
Jesus
sheltering
in
a
cave
.
Although
Da
Vinci
did
as
they
requested
,
when
he
delivered
the
work
,
the
group
reacted
with
horror
.
He
had
filled
the
painting
with
explosive
and
disturbing
details
.
The
painting
showed
a
blue
-
robed
Virgin
Mary
sitting
with
her
arm
around
an
infant
child
,
presumably
Baby
Jesus
.
Opposite
Mary
sat
Uriel
,
also
with
an
infant
,
presumably
baby
John
the
Baptist
.
Oddly
,
though
,
rather
than
the
usual
Jesus
-
blessing
-
John
scenario
,
it
was
baby
John
who
was
blessing
Jesus
…
and
Jesus
was
submitting
to
his
authority
!
More
troubling
still
,
Mary
was
holding
one
hand
high
above
the
head
of
infant
John
and
making
a
decidedly
threatening
gesture
–
her
fingers
looking
like
eagle
’
s
talons
,
gripping
an
invisible
head
.
Finally
,
the
most
obvious
and
frightening
image
:
Just
below
Mary
’
s
curled
fingers
,
Uriel
was
making
a
cutting
gesture
with
his
hand
–
as
if
slicing
the
neck
of
the
invisible
head
gripped
by
Mary
’
s
claw
-
like
hand
.
Langdon
’
s
students
were
always
amused
to
learn
that
Da
Vinci
eventually
mollified
the
confraternity
by
painting
them
a
second
,
»
watered
-
down
»
version
of
Madonna
of
the
Rocks
in
which
everyone
was
arranged
in
a
more
orthodox
manner
.
The
second
version
now
hung
in
London
’
s
National
Gallery
under
the
name
Virgin
of
the
Rocks
,
although
Langdon
still
preferred
the
Louvre
’
s
more
intriguing
original
.
As
Sophie
gunned
the
car
up
Champs
-
Elysées
,
Langdon
said
,
»
The
painting
.
What
was
behind
it
?
»
Her
eyes
remained
on
the
road
.
«
I
’
ll
show
you
once
we
’
re
safely
inside
the
embassy
.
»
«
You
’
ll
show
it
to
me
?
»
Langdon
was
surprised
.
«
He
left
you
a
physical
object
?
»
Sophie
gave
a
curt
nod
.
«
Embossed
with
a
fleur
-
de
-
lis
and
the
initials
P
.
S
.
»
Langdon
couldn
’
t
believe
his
ears
.
