Narrator Ben Allen fully engages listeners with this intriguing story about the art world in Renaissance Venice. Zorzo, an up-and-coming painter, stakes his life and career on his obsessive desire to obtain a mysterious color that no one has ever seen before. Allen deftly distinguishes the many interesting people of all ages who inhabit Zorzo's world. Famous artists of the period wander in and out, mixing with apprentices and various scoundrels. Allen is especially adept with his understated handling of women's voices. His voice intensifies the drama as Zorzo gets drawn into the dangerous world of the beguiling Sybille and her ruthless husband. Listeners will be as eager as Zorzo to finally encounter the wonderful new color. J.E.S. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2022]
