Stroke by stroke, color by color, the past comes alive as a young woman in Lombardy, Italy, trains to paint with the masters.
Will her ambition be too much for them? Or will she secure her place in the world of Renaissance art, despite them?
As Sofonisba struggles to make her name, the Spanish empire invades Italy. With Michelangelo as her mentor and her father as her champion, Sofonisba dreams of painting the Spanish king.
In this novel of royal intrigue and artistic toil, we see the soul of the painter come alive. We watch as Sofonisba struggles to realize her dreams against the backdrop of patriarchal Europe. When royal tragedy unfolds, we learn the true strength of our heroine.
Romance, hardship, bankruptcy, and a legacy of hundreds of paintings that still influence today's artists. An authentic story of what it was like to be a woman of ambition in the Renaissance.
History comes dramatically alive as we journey through the Renaissance with Sofonisba Anguissola.
This is her story.

InformativJeg hørte bogen, fordi jeg havde den gode udstilling om Sofanisba på Nivaagaard i 2022. Der er nogle ting i bogen, der irriterer mig, fordi de er er opfundet for at få en mere dramatisk historie. Men gennemgående synes jeg den er rigtig god. Oplæseren er både god og irriterende. Sidstnævnte fordi det irriterer mig, at fordi historien er om ikke engelsk-talende personer, så skal der tales med accent. Men læs/hør bogen om en fremragende kvindelig maler, der levede fra slut 1500-tallet - begyndelsen af 1600-tallet.
