The arrival of the Venetian ambassador, Bernardo Bembo, introduces Ginevra to a dazzling circle of patrons, artists and philosophers. Bembo chooses Ginevra as his Platonic muse and commissions a portrait of her by a young Leonardo da Vinci. Posing for the painter inspires an intimate connection between them. In a rich and vivid world of exquisite art with a dangerous underbelly of deadly political feuds, Ginevra faces many challenges to discover her voice and artistic companionship --- and to find love.
