Jean Fouquet
In Rhodes, in 1996, Pierre Terestry, a writer and art critic, discovers a medieval manuscript that once belonged to a knight of the Order of the Hospitallers. As he begins to decipher it, he is drawn into the heart of the 15th century, all the way to Rome, where a secret mission unfolds in the shadow of the Vatican.
As the pages reveal their secrets, the figure of Jean Fouquet emerges a brilliant painter at the papal court, whose strikingly realistic and unsettling art borders on heresy. Between faith, power, and artistic creation, Fouquet appears as the keeper of a hidden message concealed within his works, a mystery that Pierre Terestry now seeks to understand.
In this novel, art becomes an investigation, and painting a key to reinterpreting history.
