Among the fatalities was the painter Carel Fabritius, dead at thirty-two, leaving behind his haunting masterpiece The Goldfinch.Thunderclap explores what happened to Fabritius before and after the disaster whilst interweaving the lives of Laura Cumming, her painter father and the great artists of the Dutch Golden Age.

This is a book about what a picture may come to mean, how it can enter your life and change your thinking in a thunderclap.‘Superb…this book taught me to see anew’ Daily Telegraph‘A book that often borders on the sublime in its sentiment and beauty’ Sunday Times
