The Colour Storm by Damien Dibben |
This is a tale of painters and their patrons in Renaissance Venice. A painter searches for a new pigment and becomes embroiled romantically with his patron’s wife. I found the adventure rather farfetched but enjoyed the description of the painter’s workshop, his relationship with other painters and his apprentices and of daily life in Venice with plague an ever-present threat.
