The Weight of Beauty: The Life of Donatello

Florence, 1415. In a smoky tavern, three young artists—Donatello, Brunelleschi, and Masaccio—argue late into the night, unknowingly inventing the visual language of the Renaissance.

Donatello carves bodies that breathe, saints that doubt, and heroes stripped of idealisation, challenging both church and society.

Circled by rivals and patrons demanding obedience, Donatello's only refuge is the belief that truth in art matters more than approval, safety or wealth.

John Broughton's THE WEIGHT OF BEAUTY is a historical novel of obsession and conviction that captures the essence of art, and the cost of seeing the world as it truly is.
