Paperback. Condición: Good. The New York Times bestselling luminous tale about art and human experience that is as breathtaking as any Vermeer painting "A little gem of a novel . . . [and a] beautifully written exploration of the power of art." --Parade A professor invites a colleague from the art department to his home to see a painting that he has kept secret for decades. The professor swears it is a Vermeer--why has he hidden this important work for so long?

Paperback. Condición: Good. NATIONAL BESTSELLER It's 1893, and at the Chicago World's Fair, Louis Comfort Tiffany makes his debut with a luminous exhibition of innovative stained-glass windows that he hopes will earn him a place on the international artistic stage. But behind the scenes in his New York studio is the freethinking Clara Driscoll, head of his women's division, who conceives of and designs nearly all of the iconic leaded-glass lamps for which Tiffany will long be remembered. Never publicly acknowledged, Clara struggles with her desire for artistic recognition and the seemingly insurmountable challenges that she faces as a professional woman.

Ultimately, Clara must decide what makes her happiest-the professional world of her hands or the personal world of her heart.…
