Plot

In early 16th-century Florence, Arte is the only daughter of the noble but decadent Spalletti household. Since her childhood, Arte has proved blessed with an unusual talent for painting, but when her father dies, her mother tries to force her to abandon her love for art and find a noble young man to marry as soon as possible in order to save the Spallettis from ruin.
Arte, however, refuses to give up her dreams, and, going against the beliefs of her time, she starts searching for a master painter to work for, hoping to one day become a master painter herself.
Her strong determination ultimately catches the attention of the young but well-known painter Leo, who finally accepts her as his apprentice.
