Death of a Ghost

John Lafcadio's ambition to be known as the greatest painter since Rembrandt was not to be thwarted by a matter as trifling as his own death. A set of twelve sealed paintings is the bequest he leaves to his widow - together with the instruction that she unveil one canvas each year before a carefully selected audience.

Ambitia lui John Lafcadio de a fi cunoscut drept cel mai mare pictor de la Rembrandt incoace nu a fost zadarnicita de o chestiune atat de banala precum propria moarte. Un set de douasprezece picturi sigilate este mostenirea pe care o lasa vaduvei sale - impreuna cu instructiunea ca aceasta sa dezveleasca o panza in fiecare an in fata unui public atent selectat.
