Abstract
Painters and their biographies as well as their works and their “secret messages” and circumstances of their creation seem naturally predisposed to catch the interest of all sorts of writers. This article presents an array of painting-inspired motifs and plots which have featured prominently in literary works over the past decade. Among the dominant themes there are murder mysteries and the interplay between artists and the people surrounding them, their models obviously being given the place of honour.
