"Jacomo Robusti, known as Tintoretto, a volcanic, ambitious, and unconventional painter that is ready to fight with every means to succeed and sacrifice everything and everyone for his talent. Venice in the late sixteenth century, is rich but fragile, threatened by wars with the Turks and the epidemic fever. The controversial career of one thousand inventions. A growing family: the sons rebels and the females set for the monastery. At the center of this creative and feverish life, his beloved illegitimate daughter Marietta, educated in music and painting to stay close. A girl dressed as a boy, a girl that became a woman, Marietta became his dream and his most successful creation. But will it be to teach the student or to teach the teacher what gives life meaning."--Cataloger translation of back cover.
