Description

Immortalized in many of his greatest portraits, Hendrickje Stoffels was Rembrandt's common-law wife - and it is through her eyes that we are plunged into the midst of both a passionate affair and a turbulent era of Dutch history.

Reviews

"This incredibly affecting work is both a story of a great, troubled, bohemain love affair and a hugely detailed historical portraiti of a tumul]tuous period in which Hendrickje's suffering and loyalty as Rembrandt's maligned common-law wife provides the linchpin to a sensuously wrought vision of the age."

Author description

SYLVIE MATTON is the author of a previous novel, L'Econduite (1997). With her husband, the artist and film-maker Charles Matton, she worked for two years on a feature-length film on the life of Rembrandt, which was premiered in Britain in 2001.
