Domino

A young artist in 18th-century London paints the portrait of an aristocratic beauty. His story, and hers, and the stories of various other denizens of London and Milan, are told, making a mosaic of lives and voices that illuminates the period--with cameo appearances by Alexander Pope and Georg Frederic Handel.
