The Colour Storm: The compelling and spellbinding story of art and betrayal in Renaissance Venice

Product Information

The two discuss Damian's recent publication 'The Colour Storm' (Penguin Books 2022) in which Damian harnesses a radical artist-driven insight into the centrality of colour in life in Renaissance Venice. Instead he finds himself caught up in a conspiracy that stretches across Europe and a marriage coming apart inside one of the city's most illustrious palazzos.

Previously painted masonry internal walls with an inconsistent wall finish or gloss finish – you can apply 1 coat of BAUWERK Prep Coat to create a more uniform finish. He was a real person, as are many of the other characters in the novel, and you may already be familiar with his paintings – if not, you can easily find images online of some of the pieces attributed to him which will give you an idea of the quality of his work.The paint is not film-forming, like a plastic paint, it allows walls to breathe and be part of your micro-climate inside your home. I was totally absorbed into the world of Titian, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Bellini and so many more of the artists all competing for commissions at the same time in early 1500s Venice, but the hero of this compelling book is the lesser-known artist Giorgione.

The lead character, noted artist Giorgione, (b 1477 Castelfranco, Venice, d 1510) is especially sensitive to colour’s capacity and its ability to create physical and emotional atmospheres. First apply 2 coats of a good quality water based drywall / plasterboard / gyprock primer, to ensure an even absorbency across the wall surface. Damian Dibben odkrywa przed czytelnikami świat wielkich, rozchwytywanych artystów początków epoki renesansu.Barwy w tej historii nie tylko nadają głębi opowieści, ale także pomagają czytelnikowi zrozumieć emocje bohaterów i kontekst ich podróży. However, as he gets to know Sybille, the merchant’s wife, he finds himself drawn into danger, intrigue, and passion. With the in depth description, the atmosphere of the time period as well as the art world is brought out.

I’m glad I had the chance to read The Color Storm and would love to see Giorgione’s paintings in person one day. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Today he is considered one of the most romantic and mysterious figures in the history of those times. We recognise and celebrate the diversity of Indigenous people and their enduring cultures and connections to the land and waters of Western Australia. Particularly in the middle section as secrets begin to unfold and you are trying to get a sense of Sybille’s true character that is always frustratingly out of reach – even by the end.

We believe a better solution is to use the lime wash paint and when desired apply another quick coat.
