Renaissance Impressions
Internationally bestselling author Sarah Dunant leads a discussion of her epic novel.
Encompassing love, beauty, the politics of sex and the power of loyalty set against the decadent backdrop of 16th-century Venice, we follow the story of the fabulous courtesan Fiammetta (the model for Titian’s sensual 'Venus of Urbino') and her companion dwarf Bucino. Dunant’s novel presents a dazzling portrait of one of the world’s greatest cities at its most potent moment in history.
Please read the book prior to attending this event.
