Description

Second novel of the Christ and Antichrist trilogy (1895-1907), started by the writer's debut novel The Death of the Gods.(...) The novel starts with the merchant Buonarcozzi digging out the statue of Venus, with Leonardo invited as an expert. (...) The adventures of the great artist and thinker of the Renaissance are set against the background of conflicts and tragedies, all going to show the new epoch's re-emerging humanism, harking back to the spirit of Antiquity and contrasting the monastic horrors of the Middle Ages. -- Wikipedia
