Book Synopsis Renaissance Mysteries Volume I by : Michael Price
Download or read book Renaissance Mysteries Volume I written by Michael Price and published by Page Publishing, Incorporated. This book was released on 2015-10-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two volumes are an in-depth examination of a lost painting tradition. The books examine how the physical properties of natural and mineral pigments such as azurite, lapis lazuli, malachite, or cinnabar used by artists of the European Renaissance shaped a painting process in which each painting required a thorough plan or composition which began with the geometry of the format (i.e. the proportion of height to width of a rectangle). Volume 1 presents the artist as a painter-craftsman with the preparation of natural colour from rocks and crystals and their application in appropriate binding mediums. The difference in colour quality between natural mineral pigments and modern synthetic paint is examined. Chapters include comprehensive step-by-step instruction for the contemporary artist and conservation scientist on how to prepare and paint with the incomparably luminous colours of the Renaissance palette, as well as the preparation of historical painting supports and grounds. Volume 2, the artist as a creative intellectual, links the painter's craft with the creative process and elucidates the degree of compositional planning starting with the painting's rectangular format. The demonstrated evidence for the application of Euclidean geometry is based upon exact measurements of painted surfaces on panels, X-radiographs, and infrared images from paintings. The final chapter concludes with the reasons for the demise of this painting tradition and how industrialization and the standardization of art materials led to a new painting tradition from the nineteenth century.

Louise knows Rosa Maria couldn’t have killed Nora, but the police have a hard time believing that no one can remember anything at all about what happened. When Louise and Rosa Maria return to their apartment after being questioned by the police, they find the word GUILTY written across the living room wall in paint that looks a lot like blood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Missing Necklace * A decadent court in Renaissance Italy * A Reluctant Detective"Yes, this man is sent to kill me." The courier, transporting a fabulous necklace, wisely decides to break his journey at an Inn to assess the situation. Indeed he is being followed and reasons he is safer here than on the open road. However he and his mission are doomed and the necklace is lost. The "Tears of the Madonna" is a historical mystery novel featuring Leonardo da Vinci as a reluctant detective in the vein of Sherlock Holmes. The setting of the novel is Mantua Italy in the court of Isabella d'Este who has invited Leonardo to paint her portrait. The Mantuan court is famous for moral depravity, political intrigue and extreme decadence (well it is Italy in the Renaissance) and Leonardo is hesitant but ultimately accepts the commission.When Leonardo and Niccolo arrive they learn a fabulous necklace, "Tears of the Madonna" has mysteriously disappeared. The Marquesa had sent the necklace to Venice as payment for a loan. Both the necklace and the courier have vanished. Isabella is furious and suspects a conspiracy among her agents.Isabella's pet dwarfs, act as spies in the castle and they are directed to discover which of her agents may have kept the necklace. One of the agents is found dead, a supposed suicide; another has apparently "fallen" from a tower window; and a third Ser Ottaviano Cristani, Isabella's Janus assassin, is stricken with fever and a terrible cough. Ottaviano comes to Leonardo for help and is given herbs to help the cough. When he doesn't get better Leonardo discovers that the herbs he gave to Ottaviano had been poisoned. Someone searched his rooms and knew exactly what poison to use and which herb to add it to. Leonardo is now under suspicion. But this is a court of lavish entertainments and a very special amusement is planned to welcome new members to the court. It soon becomes apparent that two new arrivals; Ser Johannes Vendramm, and Madonna Maddalena d'Oggiono are targeted for ridicule. The amusement is lewd and embarrassing for the young courtier and the lady. Leonardo is puzzled by this vicious display and ponders how they could have drawn such attention. In the meantime, Niccolo has befriended the female dwarf, Lizette, and is enjoying amusements of his own. Ser Johannes and Madonna Maddalena, still reeling from their embarrassment during the recent "amusement" and a near mortal "accident" while hunting, notice their rooms had been searched. Not knowing who to trust the couple turns to Leonardo. He acknowledges that the incidents are definitely troublesome. Leonardo asks how they came to be at court and their answers confirm his suspicions. When a decomposed head is found buried in the Mantuan gardens, Leonardo uses his forensic skills to rebuild it and make a sketch. Piecing together clues gathered in the court and armed with the sketch, Leonardo journeys to Venice to visit a banker, who was to have received the necklace, and who identifies the victim as his courier. In Murano Leonardo discovers how and why the necklace disappeared and verifies the connection of Ser Johannes and Madonna Maddelena.This knowledge implicates the Marquesa and threatens to embarrass and ruin her. She must rid herself of anyone who could destroy all she holds dear - money and power. Her pet assassin is directed to kill both Leonardo and Niccolo.Escape seems impossible until...The second book in this historical mystery series continues the biographical sketch of Leonardo's life which began in Milan with the first book, "A Comedy of Murders." Mr. Herman will continue to follow the life of Leonardo da Vinci in the next six books. If you are fascinated by historical novels based in factual events and showcased in a good story, this series is for you.Kirkus Review: "Herman's prose glitters with wit, his knowledge of the period seems impeccable...a delight in what we hope will be an ongoing series
