1765. Filipo di Vecellio of Florence, portrait painter, is the toast of rich, successful, and married to Angelica, known as the most beautiful woman in the city.

Within the bustling artistic lives of the di Vecellios hides corruption and lies; love and tragedy. And wild ambition unbalances the capital's art world as, finally, a wonderful portrait battles for the right to paint the truth ...
