A story of art and war, illicit passion and personal heroism, and of four people whose lives are bound together by a single work of art.
'An exquisitely unfolding story of love and art' Esther Freud
'Emotionally consuming and beautifully told' Jennie Godfrey
TUSCANY, 1470: in the bright light of a new day, an artist lies awake, imagining a fresco that will shape his future and echo down the centuries.
1922: A member of the Bloomsbury Group writes to her secret lover about a painting that changed her life; she believes it will change his too.
1944: A British army captain is ordered to bomb a Tuscan hill town. Inside it hangs a painting said to be the greatest ever made. To save it, he must disobey orders, risking his career and even his freedom.
2014: A young conservator arrives in Sansepolcro to restore Piero della Francesca's Resurrection, and discovers she must preserve not only the painting but also the stories of those who saved it.
Drawing on real letters and unpublished diaries, this is the true story of four people who risked love and even their lives for one great masterpiece.
