Florence, 1501
Michelangelo has already created the Pietà in Rome, a masterpiece that has established him as one of the greatest sculptors of his generation. Yet despite that growing reputation, new commissions are not coming easily.
Reluctantly, he accepts a difficult assignment from Cardinal Piccolomini-a commission that will test both the artist's patience and his relationship with his demanding patron.
Then comes news that could change Michelangelo's life.
The Florentine City Fathers are looking for a sculptor to complete a colossal statue of David that has stood unfinished for nearly forty years. Michelangelo desperately wants the commission. But he isn't the only candidate. His rival, Leonardo da Vinci, is also being considered.
If Michelangelo wins the commission, he will face an enormous challenge: completing one of the most ambitious sculptures Florence has ever seen while trying to satisfy his other patrons-and keep his increasingly complicated life under control.
And Michelangelo's troubles are only beginning.
In 1504, the Florentine City Fathers give him another extraordinary assignment: to paint a large fresco on a wall opposite Leonardo's own battle scene.
Two brilliant artists. Two enormous commissions. One city watching them both.
Can Michelangelo complete his work while dealing with demanding patrons, artistic rivals, and the pressures that come with being one of Florence's most celebrated artists?
This family-friendly historical novel brings Renaissance Florence-and the fascinating rivalry between Michelangelo and Leonardo-to life.
