The Azoth Quartet

A Painter

John Sandbach · Quartet 3

A Painter is a poetic novel based on the life of Reynar Isaldo, one of the most famous artists of Aab. Isaldo was a student of the homunculus Azorma Fandoz and traveled to Azoth to study with her just before her death.

A Painter gives an account of Isaldo’s early life, his training in magic and alchemy, and of the many strange and wondrous paintings he created during his lifetime. It is based on interviews with the artist and information gathered from spirits who knew him, some of whom helped him in the creation of his work.
