Leonardo da Vinci"), by Bernard Guilbert Guerney, this is the second volume of the author's Christ and Anti-Christ trilogy, following The Death of the Gods: Julian the Apostate, and preceding Peter and Alexis. This excellent historical novel examines da Vinci from the perspective of Giovanni Beltraffio (aka Boltraffio), then a naive apprentice in da Vinci's workshop, who reflects on the seeming clash of Christianity with the newly revived interest in Greek and Roman art and history that is the Renaissance.
