Description
Many people who follow art wonder what the background stories are of those behind the portraits of the great Leonardo Da Vinci. Da Vinci's Tiger is a novel that dives straight into the character's life of Ginevra de' Benci, Da Vinci's first portrait subject. Based on true people and events, this tale gives a wonderful portrayal of Ginevra's life, how she came to know Leonardo, what the meaning of her painting was, and how society portrayed his artwork. She didn't want to be confined as women in her day were supposed to be, having little say about her life's choices or preferences. Through this book, one can experience a glimpse of 1470's Italian lifestyle and the romance of artistry and poetry from this period. The detail and history of the times is uniquely and beautifully tied into the storyline. Note: although not a book primarily about a romantic relationship, suggestions of homosexuality are mentioned about some characters. 287 pgs, pb.
Publisher's Description of Da Vinci's Tiger
For fans of rich and vivid historical novels like Girl with a Pearl Earring and Code Name Verity, Laura Malone Elliott delivers the stunning tale of real-life Renaissance woman Ginevra de' Benci, the inspiration for one of Leonardo da Vinci's earliest masterpieces.
The young and beautiful daughter of a wealthy family, Ginevra longs to share her poetry and participate in the artistic ferment of Renaissance Florence but is trapped in an arranged marriage in a society dictated by men.
The arrival of the charismatic Venetian ambassador, Bernardo Bembo, introduces Ginevra to a dazzling circle of patrons, artists, and philosophers. Bembo chooses Ginevra as his Platonic muse and commissions a portrait of her by a young Leonardo da Vinci.
Posing for the brilliant painter inspires an intimate connection between them, one Ginevra only begins to understand.
In a rich and vivid world of exquisite art with a dangerous underbelly of deadly political feuds, Ginevra faces many challenges to discover her voice and artistic companionship--and to find love.
