Hollywood has a unique way of getting an audience to look at art in a new light. Prior to the book turned movie, Girl with a Pearl Earring<\/em><\/a> wasn’t of much interest to the public. Likewise, the movie Woman in Gold<\/em> brought new interest to the Portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer I<\/em><\/a>. The latest painting to gain notoriety is The Goldfinch<\/em><\/a> by Carel Fabritius.<\/p>\n

The True Story<\/h4>\n

The masterpiece on its own may not seem like much as it is relatively simple. On the small canvas, a beautifully depicted goldfinch is front and center against a simple background, perched on a small birdhouse. The goldfinch is meant to represent luck and really, the fact that we can enjoy this tiny treasure is pure luck. The young and up-and-coming artist tragically died at a young age. Fabritius’ studio was not far from an ammunition factory that exploded, killing him. However, The Goldfinch painting was, thankfully, recovered and hangs in the Amsterdam Museum.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Tale<\/h4>\n

\"The
\nThe true story of this priceless piece mirrors the story that Hollywood has created for us. In the Amazon Original, The Goldfinch<\/em>, a young boy and his mother are visiting the Met. During their visit, the museum\u00a0is met with a deadly attack. In addition, the entire building is leveled and hundreds of paintings and artifacts are considered destroyed.<\/p>\n

As the story follows the young boy, Theo, we quickly discover\u00a0The Goldfinch<\/em> survived the explosion. In shock, Theo carries the painting out of the rubble in a tote bag. Theo hides the masterpiece even as he moves across the US. Through a series\u00a0of events, the painting later falls into the hands of the\u00a0Russian mafia.<\/p>\n

Whether you are drawn to this piece because of the history, the harrowing Hollywood glamour, or you’re an\u00a0aesthete this painting has a captivating pull. If you enjoy the stories behind the painting, you can browse other fascinating finds in the Carel Fabritius gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
