The Best Artist - Softcover

"This is an excellent book for all young people to read. It exposes them to some of the great artists in the past and hopefully will encourage them to study about other great artists, as well." -Lou Holtz. *** Life during the Renaissance wasn't too different from today. Kids explored the world around them, faced insecurities, and searched for their passion. In The Best Artist, three lives crossed: painter Leonardo da Vinci, sculptor Michelangelo and artist Raphael, as they fight over the coveted position to be named the best artist by the Pope. Who will be chosen? This fun story combines real history with an introduction to the greatest artists of the Renaissance.
