The Vanishing Velázquez: A 19th-Century Bookseller's Obsession with a Lost Masterpiece by Laura Cumming

5.0

Eloquently written, carefully considered, and clearly a product of passion, this book is a beautiful tribute to a painter whose work is truly exceptional, and a jaw-dropping investigation into John Snare's quest to prove his case.

This book is an excellent read for anyone with a passion for art. I would definitely recommend it.
