This work is much more grounded in reality and is not as exciting but it is a lovely story none the less, and got me looking at images of art from the Renaissance once again.

We have all heard about the artistic titans of the Italian Renaissance Figures like da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo are household names and their legacy in the history of art is uncontested. The work has all the more emotional power as it focusses on a lesser known artist as he negotiates the precarious life of his city alongside competitors, those whose names have resounded through history.

From behind closed windows and shutters, Zorzo’s aware of families pressed together, restless shadows, watching and fretting as to whether this episode will pass – as most do – without significant horror, or if this one will be severe.

Written by an author who has a genuine love for creativity and a deep understanding of what it means to be alive, his characters are richly painted and seductive.
