Summary
-'Without Mathias, he would never have been painted. The portrait shines with his luminous beauty but, like the moon, he shines not with his own flame, but with the reflected glory of the king.'-
In 1775, Lukas, who has defied the whispers of the Court to stay with his lover, the young King Mathias, sits for a portrait in which he refuses to smile. But he will be brought low by something far more insidious than gossip, and it will leave him without the most precious thing he possesses - that with which he first won the heart of the king.
