The Dutch painter Vermeer has remained one of the great enigmas of 17th-century Dutch art. While little is known of his personal life, his extraordinary paintings of natural and domestic life, with their subtle play of light and colour, have come to define the Dutch Golden Age. The mysterious portrait of the anonymous Girl with a Pearl Earring has fascinated art historians for centuries, and it is this magnetic painting that lies at the heart of Tracy Chevalier's second novel of the same title.
Girl with a Pearl Earring centres on Vermeer's prosperous household in Delft in the 1660s. The appointment of the quiet, perceptive heroine of the novel, the servant Griet, gradually throws the household into turmoil as Vermeer and Griet become increasingly intimate, an increasingly tense situation that culminates in her working for Vermeer as his assistant, and ultimately sitting for him as a model. Chevalier deliberately cultivates a limpid, painstakingly observed style in homage to Vermeer, and the complex domestic tensions of the Vermeer household are vividly evoked, from the jealous, vain, young wife to the wise, taciturn mother-in-law. At times the relationship between servant and master seems a little anachronistic, but Girl with a Pearl Earring does contain a final delicious twist in its tail. Chevalier acknowledges her debt to Simon Schama's classic study of the Dutch Golden Age, The Embarrassment of Riches, and the novel comes hard on the heels of Deborah Moggach's similar tale of domestic intrigue behind the easel of 17th-century Dutch painting, Tulip Fever.
Girl with a Pearl Earring is a fascinating piece of speculative historical fiction, but how much more can novelists extract from the Dutch Golden Age? --Jerry Brotton --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
特蕾西·雪佛兰(Tracy Chevalier)1962出生于美国华盛顿,1984年迁居英格兰。1994年获得英国东安哥拉大学创意写作硕士学位。处女作《纯蓝》一举获得史密斯文学奖年度新人奖;《堕落天使》引起了世人的普遍关注。《戴珍珠耳环的少女》是雪佛兰备受赞誉的代表作,将她归入伟大作家的行列。其作品多以旧时女子试图突破环境限制、改变自身命运为主题,细腻敏锐,缠绵悱恻,意味幽远。
雪佛兰才一个心愿是要赏遍维梅尔存世真迹。她从欣赏《戴珍珠耳环的少女》真迹中得到灵感,以维梅尔创作此画为核心,巧妙地镶嵌进了画家另外重要名画,以细腻的笔触与独到的视点,刻画出画家与妻子及少女之间的复杂关系,将一出伤魂恨情幽幽展开……
这图书纷纷扬扬的2007年,买过许多书,也读过许多书,但多数书转眼便忘记了. 不能不提到媒体的巨大力量.虽然依然暗自评价:我不听他们怎么做,一定要去看看图书的真相.但事实上,你无法看到真相. 记得在十一中间的一个雨天,小小的书店里没有人,我独自进去时,只有一个买书的中年妇...
评分罗豫/文 “从提香到戈雅”,上海的爱画人金秋有福了。不过,52幅杰作背后,却是绵延四个世纪的一幕幕天才悲喜剧。比如,大画家提香发现门徒丁托列托的天资和桀骜后,就把他从自己的画坊解雇了。而在老师盛名笼罩下,丁托列托另辟蹊径展开“反攻”,大胆引入个人化的风格,把目...
评分当我触摸到书的封皮的时候,如同触摸到了那副传世名画——《戴珍珠耳环的少女》,就自然地将书捧到怀里,付钱,走出书店。我一辈子也不可能看到那幅画的真迹,于是这张仅书面大小的复制品作为的封面就成了心的慰籍——至少它与画儿是一个模样的(忽略那些专业眼光里的“细节...
评分最爱小说。在国内的时候,对市面上流通着些什么小说大多数时候是了如指掌的,会老练的的穿过一排排书架直取心意中的那本。到了澳洲,就茫然了,除了那些大部头之外,大多数fiction section的书都是完全陌生的,不知如何取舍,只能一遍遍的走来走去,逐一的看过封面去,等着一本...
评分在同一段时间看掉了电影《八个女人》和书《戴珍珠耳环的少女》,电影是在办公室偷偷看掉的,看到马索的妹妹,那个年轻时曾是妓女的女人黑色风衣随着音乐缓缓撩开,隔里是火一样的红色,再把身上黑色上衣脱去,里面又是火红的连衣裙,手上是火红的手套,她带着成熟女人的优雅从...
