Ross King is a Canadian novelist and non-fiction writer who started out with two works of historical fiction in the 1990s before turning to history. His non-fiction takes in Renaissance Florence, where Brunelleschi's Dome follows the goldsmith and clockmaker who solved the engineering puzzle of the city's cathedral roof. Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling turns to the artist and his commission from the pope, while The Judgment of Paris looks at the revolutionary decade that gave the world Impressionism.
