«Lumière de la lagune» is the historical novel by German writer Hanns-Josef Ortheil, published by Seuil in paperback (334 pages, in French).
Andrea, a young man of extraordinary beauty with no memories of his past, is rescued from the Venetian lagoon by Count di Barbaro. His talent for drawing and painting opens the doors of the aristocracy to him, and Caterina Nardi protects him; secrets, intrigues and passions accompany his artistic awakening in an atmosphere of light that prefigures Turner.
Published in 2005, translated from German by Claude Porcell; belongs to the Cadre vert collection.
For readers of historical fiction and stories about art, painting and eighteenth-century Venice.
