Review Quotes:

" As the plot thickens, intrigue and political machinations simmer, and the result is a rich and delicious portrayal of art and its creators and the forces that drive and often work against them. More than 25 years of research in Italian Renaissance art deepens the story and renders it full of fascinating detail about people and process, while Storey's painterly prose is also sure to delight art lovers and fans of historical fiction." –Bookli
