Beschreibung
This fictional account of the seventeenth-century Spanish painter's life is ';a very enjoyable read... A portrait of Velzquez and a meditation on love' (Washington Independent Review of Books). Narrated by the mysterious model who posed for Rokeby Venus, Diego Velzquez's only surviving female nude, I Am Venus is the riveting account of a great artist's rise to prominence, set against the backdrop of political turmoil and romantic scandal. A sweeping story of scandal and passion, and a vivid recreation of a corrupt kingdom on the brink of collapse, I Am Venus is a thrilling novel that brings to life the public and private worlds of Spain's greatest painter. ';A well-plotted read with engaging characters and rich detail. Fans of Tracy Chevalier and Elizabeth Kostova as well as art history buffs will enjoy Mujica's interpretation.' Library Journal ';A worthwhile read... Mujica continues her realistic representation by loading the text with rich historical detail [that] instantly creates a sensory world for her readers to inhabit.' Booklist ';Mujica's prose is vigorous and intense, and the story is paradoxically both dark and illuminating.' Kirkus Reviews
