One of Pierre Michon’s most powerful works, this book imagines
decisive moments in the lives of five artists of different times
and places: Vincent van Gogh, Francisco Goya, Antoine Watteau,
Claude Lorrain, and Lorentino, a little-remembered disciple of
Piero della Francesca. Â Michon focuses on particular moments
when artist and model collide, whether that model is a person or a
landscape, inner or outer. In the five separate tales he evokes the
full passion of the artist’s struggle to capture the world in
images even as the world resists capture. Each story is a small
masterpiece that transcends national boundaries and earns its place
among the essential works of world literature.
