Girl Wearing Pearl Earrings
About This Novel
The original novel of the classic film of the same name by Scarlett Johansson and Colin Firth. Looking back through time and space, it is an example of Dickensian narrative and the story of the resurrection of famous paintings. It is a mystery within a mystery, a love within a love, a painting within a painting, a story about female talent and self-esteem that complements the painting. Vermeer, the outstanding painter of the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century, wrote about such a young girl. She turned her head sideways, her lips were slightly parted, and she was quietly out of the world. A pearl earring shone between her blue turban and coarse cloth. This figure in the painting, which still amazes the world, can only be compared to the smiling Mona Lisa. Who is she? How did she get into Vermeer's light, shadow and color? In this legend built for this famous painting, the market customs and artist's life in the Delft region of the Netherlands more than 300 years ago are recolored and resurrected: a girl more mysterious than the Mona Lisa, a pair of earrings that are the most unpredictable in the history of art and cannot be owned by the person in the painting, and a mystery that has been questioned and imagined by the world for centuries. It will be continuously displayed on the canvas in the light and shadow in the overlapping collision between art and secularity, darkness and humiliation, forbearance and nobility.
