Summary: "Le Roman de Léonard de Vinci: La résurrection des Dieux" by Dmitry Merezhkovsky is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the life of the iconic artist Leonardo da Vinci, exploring themes of art, beauty, and the conflict between paganism and Christianity during the Renaissance period. Through the perspectives of various characters, including a young pupil named Giovanni Beltraffio, the narrative delves into the cultural and spiritual tensions of the time. At the start of the novel, the setting is introduced with rich descriptions of Florence and its vibrant yet tumultuous atmosphere in 1494. Giovanni arrives in the city with ambitions of becoming a painter but is cautioned against the influences of Leonardo, perceived as heretical by some. Interactions between characters such as Giovanni, the merchant Buonaccorsi, and the curiously insightful Grillo set the stage for deeper philosophical discussions about faith, art, and the tension between old and new beliefs. As the plot progresses, a significant discovery of a statue representing Venus sparks excitement among the townspeople, while fears of spiritual consequences loom, reflecting the novel’s overarching theme of the clash between the revival of classical ideals and the dominant Christian ideology of the time.
