Winning a commission to paint a portrait of the man’s wife, Sybille, Zorzo thinks he has found a way into the merchant’s favour.

Most important is that the surface has some ability to absorb the paint as lime wash paints always look for a surface it can penetrate into. W swojej najnowszej powieści Damian Dibben czyni te słowa mostem do magicznego świata, gdzie kolory ożywają, prowadząc czytelnika w podróż przez czas i przestrzeń. A story filled with intrigue and secrets as well as colour, Damian Dibben's new novel is filled with vivid descriptions . I can recommend it to historical fiction lovers, lovers of art and the renaissance and those who like historical intrigue. BAUWERK Limewash paints are perfect for all masonry surfaces, like render, bricks, mud brick, strawbale that’s where it works best as it is absorbed into the wall leaving a breathable surface that is protected by the natural properties of the paint.

All this surrounds a proper good old adventure story with romance, mystery and exciting twists in spades! Przede wszystkim ukazuje umiłowanie koloru – uczucie artysty do drogocennych barwników, których wartość przekracza wszelkie możliwe domysły.

If you are painting natural surfaces such as render or brick our paints are wonderfully durable as they are absorbed into the wall. You are never in doubt of Zorzo’s best intentions – he has been written very strongly as a character and for me the most fascinating and absorbing moments are when he is talking to his apprentices abut his work and what he expects them to do.
