Publisher's summary

For readers of Girl with a Pearl Earring, a luminous and evocative novel of Édouard Manet’s muse.

Paris, 1862. A young girl in a threadbare dress and green boots, hungry for experience, meets the mysterious and wealthy artist Édouard Manet. The encounter will change her - and the art world - forever.

At 17, Victorine Meurent abandons her old life to become immersed in the Parisian society of dance halls and cafés, meeting writers and artists like Baudelaire and Alfred Stevens. As Manet’s model, Victorine explores a world of new possibilities and stirs the artist to push the boundaries of painting in his infamous portrait Olympia, which scandalizes even the most cosmopolitan city.

Manet becomes himself because of Victorine. But who does she become, that figure on the divan?

Intense, erotic, and beautifully wrought, Paris Red evokes the unconventional love story of a painter and his muse that changed the history of art.

An historical fiction about the life of Edouard Manet's model for his most famous paintings. A fascinating look at Paris, struggling artists and the working women of Manet's era.

Powerful

A story of the awakening of an artist - Victorine Meurant. It tells the story of a hard life lived by women in the late 19th Century. And it offers multiple, small, personal and significant recognitions of a girl transforming into a woman and and artist. Beautiful.
