Synopsis

The Master Mosaic-Workers invites you into a vivid Venetian world of art, rivalry, and brotherly devotion.

This historical romance melds real figures of the Renaissance art scene with a heartfelt story set at Saint Mark’s and in the workshops of Venice. Rich with period detail, it follows the rise of master mosaic workers and the influence of famed painters like Titian as they face competition, intrigue, and the demands of a city that cherishes color and light.

Through the lives of Francesco and Valerio Zuccato and their rivals, the book explores craft, pride, and the costs of ambition. It brings to life the drama of commissions, courtly politics, and the quiet victories of shared artistry, all framed by a tender, though non-sentimental, portrayal of family bonds.

• Experience the tension between rival workshops and the high standards of mosaic work.
• Watch master artists wrestle with technique, authenticity, and recognition.
• Follow a true-to-life backdrop of Venice during a flourishing era of art.
• Feel the warmth of fraternal loyalty that shines through a world of rivalry.

Ideal for readers who enjoy historical fiction with a strong sense of place, art, and humanity.
