Laura Cumming | Thunderclap: A memoir of art and life & sudden death
Winter 2024
From the author of the best-selling On Chapel Sands comes Laura Cumming’s latest book, Thunderclap.
In 1654, a dramatic explosion in the Netherlands killed painter Carel Fabritius, known for his magnificent painting The Goldfinch. Bestselling author and art critic Laura Cumming uses this tragedy as a route into profound meditations on Dutch art and culture, alongside her relationship with her father, the Scottish artist James Cumming. Prepare to look unflinchingly at some beautiful paintings and consider the precarious nature of human life.
