Caravaggio's Angel - Rilegato
Dr Reggie Lee, newly arrived at the National Gallery, is putting together a small exhibition around three Caravaggios depicting 'St Cecilia and the Angel.' One is at the Getty, one at the Louvre, and she hopes it won't be too hard to track down the third. But a series of inexplicable obstacles keep getting in her way - and then, unexpectedly, a fourth Caravaggio turns up. One of them must be a fake. But which?
When people start to die, it seems clear that someone doesn't want Reggie's show to go ahead. Why, she can't imagine. But her career is at stake, and she'd damned if she'll let herself be intimidated and bullied by these unseen forces. So Reggie investigates and her research takes her from Surrealist suicides to shady Italian art dealers, from seventeenth-century painting techniques to modern French politics in a viciously-fought Presidential election year. By the end it seems as though nobody in the opaque and ill-defined world of art can really stay incorruptible - perhaps not even Reggie herself.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. First Edition. 1ST EDITION, 1ST PRINT, SIGNED & LINED BY AUTHOR TO TITLE PAGE. Book as new unread, FINE/FINE condition. Review An art mystery leads an academic to tangled family feuds and baffling deaths.Bewildered by her breakup with her raffish boyfriend Joe, Dr. Reggie Lee dives full-tilt into her new assignment, an exhibition at London's National Gallery of a small collection of Caravaggio masterpieces. She spots an unusual old news clipping that describes the hanging death of young Robert de Beaupre close on the heels of a high-profile Caravaggio theft from the Louvre, which houses one of the Caravaggios she seeks. Another is at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and the third she hopes to locate. Her trip to Paris unearths more mystery in the recent accidental death of Surrealist painter Antoine Rigaut, who may have been connected to Beaupre. This potential link takes Reggie all the way back to Beaupre's notebooks from before World War I, and through complex political and familial dynamics of more recent decades. Despite an agreement to the contrary, Reggie also contacts Joe on a regular basis, giving the story and her character more dimension. The mystery deepens with the unexpected discovery of a missing Caravaggio. Is one of the paintings a forgery? And is Reggie paranoid, or is somebody following her?Brandon's background in art history (Surreal Lives, 1999, etc.) serves her well in her fiction debut, the first in a proposed series. Her refined prose matches the ornate plot, well-suited to a niche audience. (Kirkus Reviews). Signed by Author(s). Codice articolo 002705
