The gambling which plagued Guido Reni, the divine master of the counterreformation; the avarice of Michelangelo, carefully watched by the Inquisition; the poisons of alchemy which led to the death of Parmigianino and the meanness of Velázquez who gave up love for his lust for power. Munch's hypochondria, Schiele's morbid eroticism, Vermeer's ineptitude, making him a puppet in the hands of his rich mother-in-law and the false testimony given by Rembrandt to have his ex-lover interned thus avoiding paying her an allowance. But also Rubens's joy of living and nostalgia for his youthful years in Italy, the lovers of Suzanne Valadon and the passions of Sofonisba Anguissola, between Sicily and the austere court of Spain.

Behind the masterpieces of twenty great artists, grudges, betrayals, poisonings, weaknesses and dreams that have never been confessed in the official annals of art history. In these imaginary uncensored biographies the geniuses of painting remove their masks and become mere mortals.
