Rembrandt's Whore: A NovelPaperback– April, 2003bySylvie Matton(Author)Paperback:196 pagesPublisher:Canongate UK (April 2003)Language:EnglishISBN-10:1841953229ISBN-13:978-1841953229Product Dimensions:5 x 0.7 x 8 inchesImmortalized in many of his greatest works of portraiture, Hendrickje Stoffels was Rembrandt's common law wife—and it is through her eyes, in this beautifully realized and well-researched novel, that we are plunged into the midst of both a passionate affair and a turbulent era of Dutch history. With writing as careful and subtle as the master's paintings,Rembrandt's Whorecombines all the qualities of a naturalist tragedy, historical novel, and exposition of 17th-century Dutch society. To listen to Hendrickje is to share Rembrandt's life.
