Masters and Servants and Other Stories

A fiction with great artists. The universe of Masters and Servants is inhabited by five artists—Francisco de Goya, Antoine Watteau, Piero della Francesca, Vincent Van Gogh, and Claudio de Lorraine—Michon's brushstrokes capture the atmosphere in a play of light and shadow that ranges from the Baroque to the Modern. Through the testimony of secondary, often obscure, characters, biographical fictions, fragments of lives, autobiographical metaphors, and even parables where loneliness, bitterness, and illusion collide are revealed.
