Summary

La gran novela sobre la rivalidad entre Leonardo da Vinci y Miguel Ángel Buonarroti.
 
Dos genios enfrentados.
 
A comienzos del siglo XVI Leonardo da Vinci y Miguel Ángel Buonarroti coinciden por algún tiempo en la ciudad de Florencia, donde el primero está retratando a Mona Lisa del Giocondo y el segundo planea dar un golpe de efecto formidable. Sumidos en unas relaciones personales tumultuosas, compiten por obtener la concesión de un enorme bloque de mármol en el que solo Miguel Ángel ve su David.
 
El mayor duelo artístico de la Historia del Arte.
 
La rivalidad de los dos artistas alcanza su cénit cuando la Señoría de Florencia decide encargar a ambos la pintura de sendos murales, uno frente a otro, en el salón más emblemático del palacio Vecchio.
 
Una ciudad que era un mundo.
 

Los dos genios del Renacimiento se enfrentan así en un reto colosal orquestado por el inteligente Maquiavelo. Un combate entre dos almas opuestas, deslumbrantes y atormentadas, que libraron la más prodigiosa de las batallas: la que llevaría a uno de ellos a ganarse el favor absoluto de la Florencia que había sido gobernada por los poderosos Médici.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The great novel about the rivalry between Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo Buonarroti.
 
Two warring geniuses.
 
At the beginning of the 16th century, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo Buonarroti both find themselves in the city of Florence, where the former is painting Mona Lisa del Giocondo and the latter is planning to drop a bombshell. Immersed in tumultuous personal relationships, they compete for an enormous block of marble in which only Michelangelo sees his David.
 
The biggest duel in the history of art.
 
The rivalry of the two artists reaches its zenith when they are hired to paint murals on opposite walls of the most emblematic hall in the Palazzo Vecchio.
 
A city that was a whole world.
 
The two Renaissance geniuses thus face off in a colossal challenge orchestrated by the sly Machiavelli. A combat between two opposing souls, dazzling and tormented, in the most monumental of battles: one that will lead one of them to win the absolute favor of a Florence ruled by the powerful Médici family.
