Hidden Heretic describes Leonardo's depiction of a deep mystery in his Virgin of the Rocks paintings. Because the Inquisition was still a menace to science and non-Catholic theologies, Leonardo dismembered his insights to safely reveal them individually through his artistic genius. The book shows how this dismembered mystery can be reintegrated through the works of his students. The book explores the role the mystic and wisest man of the Byzantine Empire, Georgius Gemistus Plethon, played as catalyst for the Renaissance. The author carries the reader back to 15th century Florence and Milan to experience its drama and artists. An important book for academics and a fascinating read for the layperson
