Does this provide the answer you're seeking?

"...the famous painting of Leonardo Da Vinci called Virgin of the
Rocks. The first mistake is that Brown changes the painting's name to
Madonna of the Rocks. He does this solely so he can make an anagram.
The clue on the Mona Lisa says "So dark the con of man", which Robert
goes on and on about, how the church has conned mankind. Really, it is
an anagram of 'madonna of the rocks'. I guess Dan Brown couldn't think
up an anagram to go with 'Virgin of the Rocks'."

This is it!  Found it also in a bizarre listing of the painting as an
alternate name.  They were not clear that they sought an anagram for
so dark the con of man in the question.

thanks
