About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 39 full-page plates by Piero del Pollaiuolo, Domenico Ghirlandaio and Albrecht Dürer. A condottiero of Urbino is ordered to court a woman he has never met on behalf of a man who is not worth her, and discovers he would rather fight the whole duchy.

Thirty-nine plates of Renaissance painting, from Mantegna to Vasari, carry the sieges, campfires and court portraits of the world this story moves through.
