A Dutch Golden Age Historical Novel of Johannes Vermeer, Art Masters, and Delft Servants

In 1665 Delft, sixteen-year-old Griet becomes a housemaid for the celebrated Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer to support her family after her father is blinded in a tile kiln explosion. Working in Vermeer’s household, Griet is assigned to clean the master's studio without altering the precise arrangement of his subjects.

Recognizing Griet's intuitive understanding of color, light, and composition, Vermeer quietly enlists her as his studio assistant. Their artistic collaboration triggers jealousy within Vermeer's family and draws the predatory attention of wealthy art patron Pieter van Ruijven, culminating in the painting of Vermeer's famous portrait.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Tracy Chevalier crafts a rich historical novel exploring the Dutch Golden Age art world. Combining meticulous historical detail with quiet psychological tension, this bestseller appeals to readers of Sarah Dunant, Hilary Mantel, and Philippa Gregory.
