"The Game of Perspectives" is a gripping historical novel in letters.
Mid-16th century, Late Renaissance. In Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, the Mannerist painter Jacopo Pontormo is murdered. Giorgio Vasari, artist, historian, and confidant of the Duke of Florence, Cosimo I, takes up the investigation. Meanwhile, an obscene painting depicting the Duke's daughter, the young Marie de' Medici, is discovered in Pontormo's house, threatening a major scandal for the ruling family. The novel takes place against the backdrop of a turning point in time: the celebration of the human spirit and nature gives way to aesthetic and ideological conservatism. Political intrigue, the Inquisition, conspiracies—in this turbulent atmosphere, Binet's characters write a captivating, heartfelt, and at times ironic story about power, creativity, and love.
