From the Inside Flap
"Spare, elegant, passionate, and brilliant, The Day Laid on the Altar, like Penelope Fitzgerald's The Blue Flower, drops us deftly into the heart of another time and place. Throughout several decades of the 16th century, in Venice, Florence, and a mountain village, the struggle to make art and life and wonder out of the bleakness, plague, and hunger streams through characters ranging from an unlettered, visionary shepherd to the painter Titian, his family, and his servants. Adria Bernardi inhabits with equal grace the hearts and minds of men and women, knaves and saints, and artists and beggars, and in the process has made a novel as moving and precisely detailed as any of the paintings she so beautifully describes." -- Andrea Barrett, Judge
