Book Club Mystery - Raphael Jonathan Argyll is an enthusiastic English graduate student working on his doctorate in art history; he has almost tracked down what may be an unknown Raphael painting when another man, art dealer Edward Byrnes, beats him to it. The painting is greeted with ecstasy in Italy, where the national gallery is empowered to spend as much money as it takes to acquire the masterpiece. However, Jonathan has doubts about the authenticity of the painting, and when a terrible art crime is perpetrated, the Italian Art Theft Squad begins to investigate, carrying Jonathan along with them…. This is the first in a series about art historian Jonathan Argyll and art theft squad member Flavia di Stefano written by a journalist and art historian himself; I have all seven of the books in the series, having read them some decades ago and now returning to them for an enjoyable re-read. Jonathan and Flavia are interesting characters, having great enthusiasm for (especially Italian) art but approaching the subject from completely different perspectives, and the milieu of the wealthy world of art connoisseurs is unfamiliar and engaging. I’m glad to reacquaint myself with these works; recommended! #1 Art History mystery. Set primarily in Rome (& Siena) Italy Jonathan Argyll, graduate art student thinks he has found a Raphael that has been painted over for 200 years. Back and forth, back and forth, twists and turns - and I learned so much about art! I'll definitely look for more of this series. Arrêté pour flâner dans une église romaine délabrée, l’historien d’art Jonathan Argyll explique aux carabinieri qu’un Raphaël aurait dû s’y trouver, caché sous les coups de pinceau d’un Mantini obscure. Alors que l’hypothèse du jeune anglais s’avère juste, la découverte du tableau manquant est promptement suivie par celle d’un cadavre. Assistés par Argyll, le Gén. Botando et sa belle et indépendante assistante Flavia se lancent sur les traces du meurtrier. Le décor unique de la ville millénaire et à l’atmosphère légère de cette intrigue combleraient les amateurs de mystères érudits, aérés et saupoudrés de romance. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Set in Rome, The Raphael Affair features the perpetually beset General Bottando of the Italian National Art Theft Squad; his glamorous assistant, Flavia di Stefano; and Jonathan Argyll, a British art historian. When Jonathan is arrested for breaking into an obscure church in Rome, he claims that it contains a long-lost Raphael hidden under a painting by Mantini. The painting disappears-then reappears in the hands of the top British art dealer, Edward Byrnes. How has Byrnes found out about the hidden masterpiece, and whom is he acting for? There is also the curious matter of the safety-deposit box full of sketches closely resembling features of the newly discovered painting. A hideous act of vandalism occurs, then murder. Bottando faces the most critical challenge of his career, and Jonathan and Flavia find themselves in unexpected danger. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
