The official website for the TV anime adaptation of Kei Ohkubo's Arte manga revealed a promotional video for the anime as well as the show's staff, four more cast members, a visual, and the April 2020 premiere.
Takayuki Hamana (The Prince of Tennis, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation, Library War, Appleseed XIII) is directing the anime at Seven Arcs. Reiko Yoshida (Girls and Panzer, K-ON!, Violet Evergarden) is overseeing the series scripts, Takaaki Suzuki (Strike Witches, Girls and Panzer) is the background researcher, Chieko Miyakawa (Moshidora) is the character designer and chief animator, and Gorō Itō is composing the music.
Media Do is offering the manga digitally in English, and it describes the story:
Florence, Italy, 16th century. A girl, an artistic ambition, the birthplace of the Renaissance era where art flourishes. In a small corner of this vast city, the journey of a sheltered girl begins. She dreams of becoming an artist, an impossible career for a girl born into a noble family. At that time, art was an exclusively male profession, with women facing strong discrimination. Despite these challenges, Arte relies on hard work and a positive attitude!
