The scent of linseed oil and turpentine hangs heavy in the air, a stark contrast to the fragrant spices wafting from the nearby market. Hidden within the hushed sanctuary of her uncles studio, Margaretha Vermeer indulges a forbidden passion. While Johannes Vermeer, her renowned uncle, meticulously renders the opulent interiors of Delfts elite, Margarethas clandestine sketches capture the vibrant undercurrent of life he overlooks: a fishmongers weathered hands, a Javanese sailors sun-kissed face, a stolen embrace beneath a willow tree.But her secret world of charcoal and canvas is a dangerous transgression. Her aunt Catharina, a woman with a smile as brittle as Delftware, rules their household with an iron grip and a watchful eye. Margaretha lives in constant fear of discovery, her artistic endeavors a perilous act in a world where a womans place is strictly defined.Across the canal, amidst vibrant pigments and half-finished canvases, lives Lucas Janssen, a painter whose fiery spirit rivals the vermilion he favors. He is Vermeers rival, his bold strokes and emotional intensity a stark contrast to Vermeers meticulous realism. When he discovers Margarethas hidden sketches, he recognizes a kindred spirit. Their clandestine meetings blossom into a forbidden romance, fueled by art, rebellion, and the electric energy of Delft. He encourages her to embrace the raw emotion of her art, a dangerous game in a world clinging to tradition. But Lucas harbors a secret ambition, a burning desire to surpass Vermeer, and Margaretha, blinded by love, fails to see its dangerous edge.Inspired by Lucas and awakened to the social inequalities surrounding her, Margarethas art becomes bolder. She paints the marginalized Indonesian spice merchants, Jewish families, mixed-race children her canvases alive with empathy and a vibrancy absent from her uncles celebrated works. One portrait, a tender depiction of a mixed-race family, becomes a lightning rod, strategically revealed by Lucas in a calculated betrayal.Scandal erupts, threatening the Vermeer familys precarious stability. Catharinas fear turns to fury, her own buried secrets adding fuel to the fire. Johannes is caught between family and reputation. Margaretha, trapped in a web of deceit and heartbreak, must choose: silence her artistic soul or risk everything for the art that defines her. As the scandal escalates, Catharinas past comes to light, revealing a hidden vulnerability that mirrors Margarethas own struggle.In a climactic act of defiance, Margaretha unveils her secret paintings at a grand ball, exposing not only her talent but also the hypocrisy of Delfts elite. The consequences are far-reaching, forcing the Vermeers to confront their values and make life-altering choices. Margaretha, no longer a hidden artist, embarks on a journey to Amsterdam, her brushes and paints carrying the stories of those she has immortalized on canvas, her art a testament to the power of a womans voice in a world determined to silence it....6610000675319_PublishDrivelibro_electonico_6610000675319_6610000675319Melinda FischerInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/content2connect_drm-epub-0729ef20-3ec9-475a-b615-7ca26487d180.epub2024-11-26T00:00:00+00:00PublishDrive
