Blurb

The death of her beloved father, has left artistic and idealistic Tempera and her stunning, scatterbrained stepmother Lady Rothley bereft not only of love but also of money. So when Lady Rothley?s womanly wiles attract an invitation from none other than the Duke of Chevingham to join him in the South of France, it?s a Godsend. At last ? the prospect of a handsome, aristocratic suitor for Tempera?s Belle-m?re who would keep them both in the style to which they would dearly love to be re-acquainted! To arrive without a lady?s maid is inconceivable ? to afford one impossible. So Tempera escorts her Belle-m?re in the guise of a servant and

attempts to coach her in fine art, the Duke?s consuming passion.

While her stepmother flirts with C?te D?Azur society Tempera contents herself with capturing the local flora?s beauty on canvas. And when the flair she inherited from her father captivates and mystifies the magnificent Duke, something stirs in Tempera that she has never felt before. Is it love? Or is it betrayal?

Author’s Note
Author’s Note‘The Virgin of the Rocks’ in the Louvre in Paris was painted about 1485 and is the earliest of the pictures which Leonardo da Vinci is known to have completed. It was the centre panel of an altar piece commissioned by the Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception in Milan. ‘The Madonna in the Church’ by Jan Van Eyck, 1380-1441, is in the Dahlem Museum, Berlin. ‘St. George and the Dragon’ by Raphael is in the National Gallery of Art, Washington. ‘Portrait of a Young Girl’ by Petrus Christus, 1400-1473, is in the Stault Museum, Berlin. He was a contemporary and perhaps a pupil of Jan Van Eyck but in comparison he seems to have been almost deaf to the voices of the spirit. Only in this really noble and suggestive work can we see the spiritual sensitivity which is so moving in all Jan Van Eyck’s pictures.
