Excerpt from A Stone in the Path
Domenico Corso smiled, but he was not convinced. Rising from his chair near the window, the Gothic canopy of which formed a fitting background for the stately presence of the sitter, he came to look again at the portrait destined to hang with those of other distinguished Florentines in the Hall of the Signoria.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Set against the backdrop of Renaissance Florence, this book delves into the heart of a complex and deeply moving love story. Fra Antonio, a young Dominican monk gifted with extraordinary artistic talent, finds himself drawn to the beauty of a young woman named Francesca, whose father, the powerful Domenico Corso, commissions him to paint her portrait. The author masterfully captures the conflicting desires within Fra Antonio, torn between the strictures of his monastic life and the burgeoning passion that consumes him. This clash between spiritual devotion and earthly desires is a timeless theme in literature and art, and the author's portrayal is both compelling and insightful. Through the characters' struggles and the vibrant depiction of Renaissance Florence, this book explores the enduring power of love, the constraints of societal norms, and the complexities of the human heart. The author's vivid portrayal of Fra Antonio's internal conflict and the complexities of his feelings for Francesca will leave readers pondering the very nature of love and faith.
