Every Painting Tells a Story: Historical Short Stories of Art and Sweet Romance (Historical Art and Sweet Romance Book 1)

Description

This enjoyable anthology is a selection of short stories about sitters who have their portraits done by master painters. Full of hope and expectations they wait to see how the artist has chosen to render their personality, but the completed paintings come with both joy and complications.

Traveling through the centuries from the Italian Renaissance to Northern European Baroque and Georgian-era England this compilation features artists Gainsborough, Raphael, Caravaggio, Rubens, and Rembrandt. The tales—although based on these painters’ lives—are historical fiction.

Short Stories:

• Mr. and Mrs. Andrews
• The Renaissance Man
• Portrait of Love
• Mother and Daughter
• A Woman of Strength
• The French Musketeer

Each narrative may be found as part of six dual-timeline novels in Heidi Eljarbo’s two art history series, Soli Hansen Mysteries and A Fabiola Bennett Mystery.
