   If you’re interested, Bronzino’s Allegory is the subject of my historical novel “Cupid and the Silent Goddess”, which imagines how the painting might have been created in Florence in 1544-5.

   That sounds absolutely fascinating Alan – I’ll look out for that! Florence and art are two of my favourite things.

   I’m currently writing a radio drama about a forger who will, undoutbedly, forge some Renaissance art along the way.
