A moving and thought-provoking exploration of Dutch art and the impact that painting can have on life – and life on painting. Fabritius, blown up in Delft in 1654 after painting The Goldfinch, becomes a conduit for the author to write about her father. A book to read carefully, and to cherish. Sparing but impeccably selected illustrations.
