  • "This book "centres on Vermeer's prosperous household in Delft in the 1660s. The appointment of the quiet, perceptive heroine of the novel, the servant Griet, gradually throws the household into turmoil as Vermeer and Griet become increasingly intimate, an increasingly tense situation that culminates in her working for Vermeer as his assistant, and ultimately sitting for him as a model. Chevalier deliberately cultivates a limpid, painstakingly observed style in homage to Vermeer, and the complex domestic tensions of the Vermeer household are vividly evoked, from the jealous, vain, young wife to the wise, taciturn mother-in-law. At times the relationship between servant and master seems a little anachronistic, but Girl with a Pearl Earring does contain a final delicious twist in its tail." - product description."

  • ""Nous sommes en 1664, à Delft aux Pays-Bas. Griet a 16 ans. Sa famille est tombée dans la pauvreté. Le père, qui fabriquait des carreaux de faïence, est devenu aveugle après l'explosion d'un four et il n'a plus de travail. Alors, c'est décidé, Griet sera servante, placée chez un peintre dont on parle beaucoup à Delft : Johannes Vermeer. Elle va y découvrir un milieu hostile, harcelée par une épouse acariâtre, une enfant fourbe et méchante, une servante hargneuse.

Une relation toute en demi-teintes va s'établir entre l'homme et la jeune fille, troublante et douloureuse à la fois.

  • "Über Jan Vermeer, genannt Vermeer van Delft, gibt es wenige gesicherte biografische Informationen. Deshalb ist Tracy Chevaliers Kunstgriff, in ihrem Roman die Geschehnisse im Haus des Malers über die Jahre 1664 bis 1666 hin aus der Sicht der Magd Griet zu erzählen, ein geschickter Schachzug. Griet kommt als 16-Jährige, aus ärmlichen Verhältnissen stammend, ins Haus und erweist sich nicht nur als gute Dienstmagd, sondern sie ist auch geschickt im Umgang mit Farben. Auf Veranlassung eines reichen Gönners malt Vermeer Griet; beide bekommen eine Menge Ärger deshalb. 'Das Mädchen mit der Perle' wird eines seiner berühmtesten Bilder werden. Gekonnt lässt die Autorin das in der ersten Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts als Handels - und Industriezentrum berühmte Delft und seine Bewohner vor dem Leser erstehen; auch die häusliche Atmosphäre ist gut eingefangen. Ein gelungener historischer Roman, der Einblick in ein interessantes Millieu gibt und zu empfehlen ist."

  • "Inspired by the Vermeer painting of the same title, Girl with Pearl Earring, this novel takes the reader inside the world of the 17th century Delft. In seventeenth-century Delft, there's a strict social order -rich and poor, Catholic and Protestant, master and servant -and all know their place. When Griet becomes a maid in the household of the painter Johannes Vermeer, she thinks she knows her role: housework, laundry, and the care of his six children. She even feels able to handle his shrewd mother-in-law; his restless, sensual wife; and their jealous servant. What no one expects is that Griet's quiet manner, quick perceptions, and fascination with her master's paintings will draw her inexorably into his world. Their growing intimacy sparks whispers; and when Vermeer paints her wearing his wife's pearl earrings, the gossip escalates into a full-blown scandal that irrevocably changes Griet's life. Written with the precision and focus of an Old Master painting, Girl With a Pearl Earring is a vivid portrait of colorful seventeenth-century Delft, as well as the hauntingly poignant story of one young girl's rite of passage."@en
