The concept of this book was interesting -- a 17th Century Dutch woman who paints something other than a still life (which was apparently all that women were supposed to do at that time and place); a 1950s-era heir of an early owner of the painting who realizes that it's been stolen and replaced with a forgery, and the forger herself; and a reunion of the latter two in 2000.Unfortunately, that's about all that is interesting. The characters are not exactly flat, but with the exception of the painter herself, the other characters are rather unpleasant people that it's very difficult to care about; and the painter isn't so much drawn as sketched.This leaves us with the plot, which is not very much in evidence except for repeated contrived (and often embarrassing) encounters among the owner and the forger, and the ending is a let down (and in part rather stupid).All in all, a disappointment.

Very few authors write a novel set in two or three places, characters, and times well. It's difficult to give each part it's own distinctive voice without shortchanging the other parts. And that's especially true when the author switches back and forth between time and place and character. However, author Dominick Smith has done a superb job of juggling in his new novel, "The Last Painting of Sara de Vos".The novel, set in New York City in 1957, Amsterdam/Haarlem in 1636, and Sydney/New York in 2000. The varying "faces" and places and times all circle around a painting created by a female Dutch artist named Sara de Vos whose works have been lost to time and non-recognition. Since most art was created by men, the most important art was credited to men. In Smith's book, a modern art historian - Eleanor Shipley - was studying Dutch women's art and was writing a thesis on Judith Leyster, an acknowledged artist of the 1600's. Shipley was living in New York in the mid-1950's and studying at Columbia University. She was also dabbling in artistic restoration to older paintings. She somehow gets mixed up with a man who wanted her to exactly copy a painting by Sara de Vos. The painting she is copying belongs to a Dutch/American lawyer who lives on the Upper East side and whose family has owned the painting for 300 years.The story line set in 1636 concerns the woman artist Sara de Vos, who has lost her only beloved child to illness. Her husband has deserted her and In her attempt to assuage her pain, she begins to paint a scene of a village, with a young girl viewing the village life from a hill. It is this painting, "At the Edge of a Wood", that belongs to Martin de Groot. He sets out to find the original picture that had been swapped for the fake painted by Ellie Shipley. The story then turns to Sydney in the year 2000, when de Groot and Shipley and the paintings all meet up again in a special exhibition.If the plot sounds complicated, it certainly is. But Dominick Smith juggles his plot and characters with such efficiency that the book comes together. There was very little misstepping that I could find, though may be some question of the painting on the front of the book. Smith's book is a masterpiece of both painterly and human love for a young girl depicted on a canvas.

This multi-layered novel is told from different vantage points and different periods of time. Though a difficult feat to accomplish, Dominic Smith does an excellent job of creating smooth transitions between characters and epochs. This complex historical fiction is a major literary coup for the author and a must read for any art lover.Sara De Vos is a fictional artist who is brought to life in these pages. She paints still lives and landscapes in Amsterdam during the 17th century. She is the first woman admitted to the painting guild, sharing this honor with Rembrandt. She is married to Barent, also a painter, but he incurs debt and he ends up leaving her to save face. They had a child named Kathryn who died of the plague. Interestingly, what is thought of as Sara's last painting, hangs in the home of Marty de Groot, passed on to him from prior generations of his family.Moving forward to New York City in 1957, Marty finds that his Sara De Vos painting is missing and a forgery has been hung in its place. Ellie Shipley, a painter and art historian living in Brooklyn, is earning money by copying masterpieces. One of the paintings she has been asked to copy is De Vos's 'At the Edge of a Wood', the same painting that has been stolen from Marty. Marty and Ellie become involved and the outcome of this will echo through time.It is now 2000 and Ellie Shipley is an art historian and curator. Ellie is curating a show of female painters of the Dutch Golden Age that is about to be hung at the university where Ellie teaches. She is aware that there are two copies of 'At the Edge of the Wind', both the original and the one she forged. She is waiting to be found out and have her life come tumbling down around her.This is a marvelous novel, one I savored and treasure. It has everything I love in literature - great characterization, intrigue, complexity, and excellent writing. I have ordered all of this author's previous works. I don't know how I missed out on reading him until now.

At times i forgot I was reading a book. This author stimulates my imagination by providing colorful text and character development without dwelling unnecessarily on detailed descriptions. I especially enjoyed learning about the techniques and materials used in art of the 1700's; and 200 years later, the science and techniques used in assessing art. The story is woven around three generations of people that are influenced by a particular artist in the 1700's through one of her single paintings. This novel tells the story of the individual ways these peoples' lives are changed by the decisions they make in regard to this painting. There is science, a love story, and adventure. So much more I could say. I can't wait to read Mr. Smith's next novel!
