Summary
"La gran novela sobre la rivalidad entre Leonardo y Miguel Ángel" --Dust jacket, front cover"A comienzos del siglo XVI Leonardo da Vinci y Miguel Ángel Buonarroti coinciden por algún tiempo en la ciudad de Florencia, donde el primero está retratando a Mona Lisa del Giocondo y el segundo planea dar un golpe de efecto formidable. Sumidos en unas relaciones personales tumultuosas, compiten por obtener la concesión de un enorme bloque de mármol en el que sólo Miguel Ángel ve su David. La rivalidad de los dos artistas alcanza su cénit cuando la Señoría de Florencia decide encargar a ambos la pintura de sendos murales, uno frente a otro, en el salón más emblemático del palacio Vecchio."--Casadellibro"At the beginning of the 16th century, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo Buonarroti both find themselves in the city of Florence, where the former is painting Mona Lisa del Giocondo and the latter is planning to drop a bombshell. Immersed in tumultuous personal relationships, they compete for an enormous block of marble in which only Michelangelo sees his David. The rivalry of the two artists reaches its zenith when they are hired to paint murals on opposite walls of the most emblematic hall in the Palazzo Vecchio. The two Renaissance geniuses thus face off in a colossal challenge orchestrated by the sly Machiavelli. A combat between two opposing souls, dazzling and tormented, in the most monumental of battles: one that will lead one of them to win the absolute favor of a Florence ruled by the powerful Médici family"--Barnesandnoble.com
