As dawn breaks, a painter is discovered lying on the floor of a church, stabbed through the heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove him, the paintings he laboured over for more than a decade. At his home, a hidden portrait scandalously depicting Maria de Medici, daughter of the Duke of Florence, as a naked Venus. Who is the murderer? Who made the painting? As the city erupts in chaos, Giorgio Vasari, the great art historian, is picked to lead the investigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLetters fly back and forth carrying news of plots and speculation about the killer’s identity – between Maria and her aunt Catherine de’ Medici, the queen of France; between Catherine and her secret agents; and between Vasari and his friend Michelangelo. And the truth, when it comes to light, is as shocking as the bold new artworks that have made Florence the red-hot centre of Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBursting with characters and colour, Perspectives is a mystery like no other that shows us Renaissance Florence as we’ve never seen it before – a dazzling, hugely entertaining novel of court machinations, murder and art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery purchase you make supports the work of Shakespeare's Globe.
