Absorbing, exciting and, dare I say it, colourful. An original tale
told beautifully' A. D. SWANSTON _______ Enter the world of
Renaissance Venice, where the competition for fame and fortune can
mean life or death... Artists flock here, not just for wealth and
fame, but for revolutionary colour. Yet artist Giorgione 'Zorzo'
Barbarelli's career hangs in the balance. Competition is fierce,
and his debts are piling up. So when Zorzo hears a rumour of a
mysterious new pigment, brought to Venice by the richest man in
Europe, he sets out to acquire the colour and secure his name in
history. Winning a commission to paint a portrait of the man's
wife, Sybille, Zorzo thinks he has found a way into the merchant's
favour. Instead he finds himself caught up in a conspiracy that
stretches across Europe and a marriage coming apart inside one of
the city's most illustrious palazzos. As the water levels rise and
the plague creeps ever closer, an increasingly desperate Zorzo
isn't sure whom he can trust. Will Sybille prove to be the key to
Zorzo's success, or the reason for his downfall? Atmospheric and
suspenseful, and filled with the famous artists of the era, The
Colour Storm is an intoxicating story of art and ambition, love and
obsession. _______ Praise for Damian Dibben 'An epic tale of love,
of courage, of hope' Evening Standard 'Bask in the brilliance' The
Mail on Sunday
