Arte

Arte is a manga series by Kei Ohkubo serialized in the manga magazine Monthly Comic Zenon since 2013. An anime adaptation aired on Tokyo MX, BS Fuji, and ytv from April 4 to June 20, 2020.

In the series, Arte is the only daughter of the noble Spalletti family. She has an unusual talent for painting, but after her father's death, Arte's mother tries to make her abandon her love for art and marry a young man to save the Spallettis from ruin. However, Arte refuses to give her dreams up and seeks a master painter to work for.

In both the anime and the manga, Arte meets a pregnant widow named Ruthanna whose greedy family is unwilling to return her marriage dowry.
