Historical | Science Fiction Alternate History
History is story telling. But some stories remain untold. In fifteenth-century Italy, Paolo Uccello recognizes the
artistic talent of his young daughter, Antonia, and teaches
her how to create a masterpiece. The girl composes a
painting of her mother and inadvertently sparks an enduring
mystery. In the present day, a copyist painter receives a commission
from a wealthy Chinese businessman to duplicate a Paolo
Uccello painting. Together, the painter and his teenage
daughter visit China, and in doing so they begin their
escape from a tragic family past. In the twenty-second century, a painting is discovered
that’s rumored to be the work of Paolo Uccello’s daughter.
This reawakens an art historian’s dream of elevating Antonia
Uccello, an artist ignored by history because of her gender. Stories untold. Secrets uncovered. But maybe some mysteries
should remain shrouded.
