Another book I picked up at the second hand bookstore. I am enjoying it. I seem to be on a theme here of the late 15th and 16th century. This one concerns Leonardo Da Vinci's painting of "The Last Supper." Already very intriguing. The writer uses the same device I enjoyed in We Are the Mulvaneys, The switch from a first person narration to third person.

I am enthralled with the research and knowledge represented in this novel. I am impressed with DaVinci's philosophy that a work of Art has to enlighten and inform, especially about ideas repressed by the Roman Church of the time.

This gives a great description of what it must have been like to view Da Vinci's painting for the first time, even in it's unfinished version. The painting, actually a mural, is 30 ' wide so at first viewing it looks like a real happening. A truly breath-taking experience.

This looks really interesting. Perhaps a companion book to Vivaldi's Virgins? Learn European history through historical fiction!
