Description

Descubre la historia de la extraordinaria mujer detrás del gran genio del Renacimiento.

«Al comprender el orden universal, el mundo nos pertenece un poco más, Leonardo. No importa qué rama del conocimiento estudiemos, en la oscuridad debe haber luz.»

Una joven aldeana ha dado a luz a un bastardo, predestinado a convertirse en el artista más grande de todos los tiempos. Caterina repentinamente se convierte en madre de un niño que posee una inteligencia prodigiosa y ella, con espíritu curioso y algo de intuición, lo lleva a descubrir su talento.

Un futuro luminoso se abre frente a ese genio al que bautiza como Leonardo. Esta ágil y entrañable novela desvela la infancia de Leonardo, sus pasiones, el juicio por sodomía, el fulgor de la Florencia de los Médicis, el Milán de los Sforza, los talleres de los grandes artistas y el esplendor del Renacimiento.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Discover the history of the extraordinary woman behind the great genius of the Renaissance.
 
A young villager has given birth to an illegitimate son, destined to become the greatest artist of all time. Caterina suddenly becomes the mother of a child who is enormously intelligent, and she, with her curious spirit and a bit of intuition, leads him to discover his talent. A bright future opens up for this genius she has named Leonardo.
 
This agile, moving novel reveals Leonardo’s childhood, his passions, his arrest for sodomy, the brilliance of Florence under the Medicis, Milan under the Sforzas, the workshops of the great artists, and the splendor of the Renaissance.
