Painter Antoine de Rembule endured his passionless life until fate delivered inspiration in the form of Chloe. His stark and honest vision of his love for her reignited his creative passion and he painted again. His raw depictions of sex and beauty made him a target of the Catholic Church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicknamed the \"Renaissance Pornographer\", most of Rembule's paintings are vivid and explicit depictions of sex. But Rembule's work isn't exclusively carnal. One image, in particular, is the most haunting - a child's eyes staring desperately out of the painting, pleading for the end to suffering. The modern discovery of thirteen Rembule paintings hidden in a French abbey ignites a cultural firestorm. No human eyes have seen his paintings for 800 years. Until now. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Adler Art Museum in Boston is chosen to restore the heavily damaged work. Cate Bennett's career as an art restorer began at the Adler.

Seventeen years later, Cate's marriage has ended and Peter is in charge of the restoration of the Rembule paintings. Despite their past, Peter knows Cate is the one person who can bring Rembule's vision back to life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Cate exposes Rembule's terrifying and beautiful history layer by layer, she and Peter rekindle their own sexual passion.
