Her calm and perceptive manner not only helps her in her household duties, but also attracts Vermeer's attention. He slowly draws her into the world of his paintings and ultimately has her sit for him as a model. An account of the artistic process from the grinding of paints to the inclusion and removal of background objects lay at the core of the novel. Chevalier's inventive portrayal of this tumultuous time, when Protestantism began to dominate Catholicism and the growing bourgeoisie took the place of the Church as patrons of the arts, draws the reader into a lively, if little known, time and place in history. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 $a Vermeer, Johannes, $d 1632-1675 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Netherlands $x Social life and customs $y 17th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 700 1 $a Lamia, Jenna. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11411876 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/rcb_9781598871302_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20161103011737.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=30B6B9C2A18B11E6AED112AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
