Description:
From the author of THE DISCOVERY OF CHOCOLATE – a romantic historical
quest set in Renaissance Florence and China surrounding the search for
ultramarine. THE COLOUR OF HEAVEN is a fictional account of a young man
who travelled to what are now Afghanistan and China to discover lapis
lazuli, the precious stone that when turned into ultramarine changed the
history of painting – allowing artists to abandon gold as a background
and open up depth, landscape and perspective with the most beautiful
shade of blue. Along the way, Paolo suffers the torments of unfulfilled
love before he returns to his anxious family in Venice, where he also
plays a part in the early development of lenses and spectacles!
