Paris, 1490. O nobre Jean Le Viste contrata o carismático e talentoso, porém ambicioso, miniaturista Nicolas des Innocents para desenhar seis tapeçarias comemorativas de sua ascensão na Corte. Ao conseguir convencer seu patrono a trocar o tema original da obra - a representação da sangrenta Batalha de Nancy - por um conjunto de imagens representando os cinco sentidos, Nicolas dá início a um projeto grandioso que poderá levar à glória ou à decadência. Enquanto isso, o artista encanta-se pela belíssima filha de La Viste e passa a conhecer intimamente todos os padrões e texturas de um mundo de tentações e frágeis relações.

This was a fantastic read! This is the first book I've read by Tracy Chevalier, and I loved her writing style and voice.Each chapter was written from the perspective of a different character, which can be really hit or miss. But each chapter made me love that character more, and gave me more insight...
An interesting idea and a clever conceit, but I really didn't care much what happened to the characters and wanted to slap Nicholas!
Incredibly clunky and just flat-out dull. If you've read Girl With a Pearl Earring you can pretty much track where this story's going to go. It's very predictable and the sexual subplots were laughable in places. Sorry, Ms Chevalier, but this was just not worth my time, even for the really lovely sc...
