THE LAST LETTERS FROM VILLA CLARA

- Sarah Steele

IN THE art world the finding of ‘lost’ or unknown masters creates massive excitement amongst collectors: provenance being proof of authenticity. But the journey that these works take is nothing short of extraordinary.

In The Last Letters from Villa Clara by Sarah Steele we are on a cleverly executed treasure hunt for such a painting, that unfolds from a Tuscan villa in 1939, to London in the swinging 60s, and the 1980s, bringing together nostalgia, the strength of the human spirit and an enduring love. Spades of characters with spirit and colour, each one drawn as delicately as the artist’s brush on whom the story turns.
