Review of The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci
As we are all aware, art is the creative and emotional expression of mental imagery, such as visual, auditory, and social, and we can see in this book that that expression is well portrayed.
Angela Renatus is a young and beautiful art historian who works at the Getty Museum on an internship. She'd been having nightmares about a certain painting from the past, and they had been affecting her at work because she'd been having insomnia and is usually tired and easily stressed out when she gets to work. How does she manage all these problems at work, and does it influence her career?
The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci is a fictional novel written by Belle Ami. This book was so inspirational to me because it was extremely intuitive. There were many things I liked about this book. Angela was a very strange and strong character. An art historian trying to make it to the very top of the art industry is one thing you can be sure is common among all young art historians and hopefuls. I really liked the zeal she had to go far in her career.
Another thing I liked about this book was how the twists made the book more exciting. Dr. Alberto Scordato, the director of the museum, was a cunning man who loved to have his way and loved being alone with women in his office. Angela dreaded being called up into his office because she sought advice from his administrative assistant, Kathryn Hayes, who understood what she was going through. Each encounter she had with her boss was one in which she made sure she was always careful with whatever she said or did during the meeting to ensure that she didn't lose her job. You could understand why she tried to always remain level-headed when she had such an annoying personality, because she worked really hard to get this internship, and it was not something she was willing to let go because of a minor problem or reaction. You could see how each character had been expressed uniquely, which gives the book a better taste, and that's another thing I liked about this book.
What I disliked about this book was the use of some artistic terms that I had no idea about, since I'm not too familiar with how a museum is operated or how a painting can give various messages to a museum goer. I would rate this book four out of five stars because of my dislike of the book as mentioned. I did not find any errors, which means it was exceptionally well-edited. Furthermore, I recommend this book to readers who would love to know more about art history.
