Journey to the hilltop Tuscan city of Siena and absorb yourself in
the beauty, obsession, love and adversity experienced by Duccio di
Buoninsegna all on account of his acclaimed altarpiece, the Maesta.
In this historical fiction novel, two powerful men try to destroy
Duccio's reputation and denigrate his Maesta. Duccio's young female
apprentice who disguises herself as a male is the ideal ploy for
attack by these enemies. But Duccio cannot let her go. How this
drama plays out for Duccio in his final years leaves the reader
rooting for this great artist and family man. Regardless of the
outcome, his contributions to the world of art are what last.
