Enter the world of
Renaissance Venice, where the competition for fame and fortune can mean life or
death, in this immersive novel of art and the Inquisition.
Giorgio “Giorgione” Barbarelli’s career hangs in the balance. A student of
Bellini and a mentor turned rival of Titian, he’s seen his reputation fall out
of favor and his debts pile up. When he hears a rumor of a mysterious,
otherworldly new pigment brought to Venice by the richest man in Europe, he
sets out to acquire the rare color and secure his name in history.
Winning a commission to paint a portrait of the rich man’s wife, Giorgione
thinks he has found a way into the merchant’s favor. Instead the woman draws
him into her confidence, revealing the true reason her husband’s come to
Venice. Giorgione finds himself caught up in a conspiracy that stretches across
Europe and a marriage coming apart inside one of the floating city’s most
illustrious palazzos.
Atmospheric and suspenseful, and filled with the famous artists of the era, The Color Storm captures the
fascinating world of Venice at the height of its power and a moment of artistic
invention that echoes through the centuries.
