Description
In 2000, restorers at the Palazzo Barberini x-rayed Raphael's famous nude portrait of Margherita Luti and discovered that someone had painted over her ring after the painter's death. Why was the ring hidden from view, and what became of its real-life counterpart? Haeger has created a superlative and mesmerizing historical romance.
