Krátky popis
All that is hidden will soon be revealed . . .'A triumph ...
deliciously intriguing' Harriet Constable, author of The
Instrumentalist 'Impeccably researched, masterfully plotted,
beautifully written' Santa Montefiore'Imaginative. The streets,
parlours and galleries of London and Oxford come alive in this
twisting, Victorian-era drama.' Charmaine Wilkerson, author of
Black CakeOne morning in 1890, a painting wrapped in brown paper
appears on the steps of the National Gallery and causes a
sensation.It's clearly by Timothy Ponden-Hall, whose paintings were
celebrated and debated not just for their beauty, but for the
rumours behind them: they were believed to immortalise the souls of
their subjects. But Ponden-Hall has been thought dead for the last
50 years. .. In a bid to quiet the gossip and rumours that swirl
around the streets of London, the gallery brings in renowned and
reluctant art historian Solomon Oak to investigate. Oak is assisted
by an unlikely aide: his daughter Alice.A passionate but sheltered
student, Alice has worldly desires which eclipse the life she's
expected to lead. Together they discover that exposing
Ponden-Hall's legacy will prove more controversial than they could
ever have imagined for their family, and for Victorian society.Set
between London and Oxford, The Portrait Artist is a twisting debut
exploring race, fame and long-kept secrets.'An intriguing and
original debut' Emily Howes
