The painting's provenance is disputed and many doubt its existence at all. But Newhouse has uncovered a letter by Rembrandt where the master states, \"That damned painting vexes my mind's eye.\" As Newhouse struggles with his grief, his grip of reality slowly loosening, he embarks upon a surreal journey of loss and self-discovery, fueled by alcohol, drugs, and self-destructive behavior. As the lines between reality and imagination blur, will George lose himself in his obsession or return from the brink of destruction in time? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freight Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781910449042\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Freight Books","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £6.15","offer_id":47919077982385,"sku":"SB-1910449040-C3","price":6.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1910449040.jpg?v=1789692727","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/blue-horse","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
