There are scenes that are absolutely beautiful. When describing art and Matt sinking into the love of art shines through.Other parts are very clunking. Somethings also make absolutely no sense. ( ) This book was in some ways a disappointment - the 3 stars are purely for the wonderful descriptions of paintings, music and 15th century science, which are very well done. Clearly the author knows a lot about art of the period, unfortunately he doesn't know how to spin a good story. There is next to no character development and the storyline isn't convincing or engaging. It's a great idea, but poorly executed. Interesting marriage of art, art history, music theory, time traveling and a true sense of the word "Romantic". Matt, an accomplished art restorer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is drawn to the "studiolo" room within the museum - a room of three dimensional effects on all walls through the use of "intarsia" (inlaid wood) - where he finds peace and a strong draw to another world. As he restores a renaissance painting of a beautiful woman, he is drawn into her world through dream...or was it real? Definitely an interesting juxtaposition of science fiction and Renaissance Florence with a lost art restorer. Does he find his way? You decide. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Matt O’Brien, an assistant curator and art restorer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, has always been passionate about the Italian Renaissance. But when he discovers a long-neglected portrait of a beautiful woman among the museum’s miles of storage bins, he becomes obsessed--and not only because he suspects that the painting is by Leonardo da Vinci. Something about the mysterious woman’s exquisite face stirs his memory, and when Matt finds himself spun across the centuries into Quattrocento Italy, where he arrives perfectly attired in 15th century clothing, he appears to be free to pursue her. A magically woven, richly detailed debut, Quattrocento tells an unforgettable tale of art, and love, and the unexpected places places where they meet. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
