Summary

"From 1501 to 1505, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo Buonarroti both lived and worked in Florence. Leonardo was a charming, handsome fifty-year-old at the peak of his career. Michelangelo was a temperamental sculptor in his mid-twenties, desperate to make a name for himself. The two despise each other.... Oil and Marble is the tale of a nearly forgotten rivalry. Storey brings early sixteenth-century Florence alive, and has entered with extraordinary empathy into the minds and souls of two Renaissance masters."--Front flap of jacket
