The gripping and fascinating biographical novel of a strong woman and painter who was more successful than Rembrandt during her lifetime.
Amsterdam, 1679. Every time Rachel absorbs the colorful hustle and bustle at the Dam – the smell of salt, the cries of seafarers, the foreign languages – it’s as if a door to another world opens for her. Only one thing brings her even more joy: the lessons from the renowned flower painter Willem van Aelst, who soon has nothing more to teach the extraordinarily talented young woman. When Rachel falls in love with the portrait painter Juriaen Pool, her life takes a new turn. Yet not only does she never put down her brush even in her role as a tenfold mother, she is even appointed court painter by the Elector Johann Wilhelm in Düsseldorf. And she encounters the maid Emma, whose search for her origins soon draws Rachel into a vortex of dark power struggles.

The riveting fictionalized life story of a world-class artist.
