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 nu a fost sa fie zadarnicita de o chestiune la fel de neinsemnata precum propria sa moarte. Un set de douasprezece picturi sigilate este mostenirea pe care el lasa vaduvei sale - impreuna cu instructiunea ca aceasta sa dezvaluie o panza in fiecare an in fata unui public atent selectat.
