Book Description:

Barrili, in questo romanzo pubblicato nel 1905, prendendo spunto da un episodio narrato da Giorgio Vasari, ci narra la vicenda del pittore Spinello Spinelli (detto Spinello Aretino). Non spaventi né l'ambientazione trecentesca né l'aria da romanzo storico (essendo alcuni personaggi esistiti realmente, sebbene, poi, ciò che viene messo in scena sia in gran parte frutto della fantasia dell'autore) e non spaventino neppure i discorsi sull'arte messi in bocca ai personaggi o allo stesso narratore: l'intreccio è condotto brillantemente con ben dosati colpi di scena che danno slancio al romanzo, con uno stile agile, senza paludamenti. Il narratore poi, sebbene sia del tipo "onniscente", con il suo rivolgersi direttamente ai lettori diventa un personaggio egli stesso, quasi che fosse stato pensato proprio per una lettura ad alta voce.
