520    "Another Fabulous Art History Thriller by the Bestselling 
       Author of Oil and Marble, Featuring the Master of 
       Renaissance Perfection: Raphael! Michelangelo's Sistine 
       Chapel ceiling is one of the most iconic masterpieces of 
       the Renaissance. Here, in Raphael, Painter in Rome, Storey
       tells of its creation as never before: through the eyes of
       Michelangelo's fiercest rival-the young, beautiful, 
       brilliant painter of perfection, Raphael. Orphaned at age 
       eleven, Raphael is determined to keep the deathbed promise
       he made to his father: become the greatest artist in 
       history. But to be the best, he must beat the best, the 
       legendary sculptor of the David, Michelangelo Buonarroti. 
       When Pope Julius II calls both artists down to Rome, they 
       are pitted against each other: Michelangelo painting the 
       Sistine Ceiling, while Raphael decorates the pope's 
       private apartments. As Raphael strives toward perfection 
       in paint, he battles internal demons: his desperate 
       ambition, crippling fear of imperfection, and unshakable 
       loneliness. Along the way, he conspires with cardinals, 
       scrambles through the ruins of ancient Rome, and falls in 
       love with a baker's-daughter-turned-prostitute who becomes
       his muse"--|cProvided by publisher.
