Description
In 15th-century Paris, a wealthy nobleman commissions a set of six magnificent tapestries, tasking the brilliant but volatile artist Nicolas des Innocents with their design. As Nicolas immerses himself in his work, his presence ignites passions and conflicts among the women of the household, weaving a complex human drama into the very fabric of his art. The narrative then shifts to Brussels, where master weaver Georges de la Chapelle races against time to bring Nicolas's intricate visions to life, risking his reputation and livelihood. Tracy Chevalier masterfully blends historical detail with compelling fiction, exploring themes of art, desire, and the hidden stories captured within enduring masterpieces.
