He has a talent-not only can he see the beauty in everything, he can capture it, paint it. But while beauty can seduce you and art can transport you-it cannot always feed you or protect you.To survive, Pippo Lippi, orphan, street urchin, budding rogue, must first become Fra Filippo Lippi: Carmelite friar, man of God. His life will take him down two paths at once. He will become a gambler, a forger, a seducer of nuns; and at the same time he will be the greatest painter of his time, the teacher of Botticelli and the confidante of the Medicis.So who is he really-lover, believer, father, teacher, artist? Is anything true except the paintings?An extraordinary journey of passion, art and intrigue, The Painter of Souls takes us to a time and place in Italy's history where desire reigns and salvation is found in the strangest of places.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51322897858848,"sku":"NEW1681771233","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81w8rClb1DL.jpg?v=1773109660","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-painter-of-souls-a-novel-1681771233","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
