Anna Matveeva is a novelist, a finalist for the "Big Book" and "National Bestseller" awards; author of the books "The Enviable Feeling of Vera Stenina", "The Nine Nineties", "Lolotte and Other Parisian Stories", "Hidden Rivers" and others. In the book "Picture Girls" Anna Matveeva turns to the fates of sitters and muses of famous artists.
Who were the women who look at us from the canvases of Botticelli and Bryullov, Matisse and Dali, Rubens and Manet? They lived in different centuries, had different backgrounds and such different characters; some of them did not want to yield in skill to the greats who painted their portraits, and for some it was enough just to be near them.
"My heroines are not always in the full sense of the word sitters, they are girls from paintings, "picture girls". The fate of each of them is inextricably linked to the fate of the master, and when telling about Fornarina, one cannot help talking about Raphael, and the story of Olga Khokhlova will not do without mentioning Picasso; Botticelli could become a completely different artist without his Simonetta, Rembrandt - without Saskia, and Modigliani - without Jeanne."
