| General note |
In 1845, a Reading bookseller named John Snare came across the dirt-blackened portrait of a prince at a country house auction. Suspecting that it might be a long-lost Vel zquez, he bought the picture and set out to discover its strange history - a quest that led from fame to ruin and exile.<br/><br/>Fusing detection and biography, this book shows how and why great works of art can affect us, even to the point of mania. And on the trail of John Snare, Cumming makes a surprising discovery of her own. But most movingly, The Vanishing Man is an eloquent and passionate homage to the Spanish master Vel zquez, bringing us closer to the creation and appreciation of his works than ever before. |
