Instead of focusing solely on famous artists like Leonardo da Vinci or Michelangelo, the book examines a broader tapestry of painters, both renowned and lesser-known, to illuminate their societal roles and self-representation through art. Bucklow presents their journeys in thematic stages, guided by the 'seven hidden operators,' which reflect ancient beliefs about life stages linked to the planets. The narrative delves into personal and professional aspects of these artists' lives, offering insights into their everyday realities beyond their artistic achievements. The book is intended for readers interested in art history and cultural contexts of the past.$7Generated by AI. 606 $aPainters$7Generated by AI 606 $aArt, Renaissance$7Generated by AI 615 0$aPainters. 615 0$aArt, Renaissance. 700 $aBucklow$b Spike$01615617 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910806962103321 996 $aChildren of Mercury$93945905 997 $aUNINA
