Inspired by love, sold in desperation, bought in
passion and stolen in greed: this priceless
masterpiece has played a pivotal role in the lives
of everyone who has owned it.
As he settles into his new job at an American prep
school, an art teacher (Thomas Gibson) is
approached by a reclusive historian Cornelia
Engelbrecht (Glenn Close, Sarah, Plain and Tall)
who believes he alone will appreciate a secret
treasure she has long guarded-an unknown Vermeer
painting. Although Richard is overwhelmed by its
beauty, he doubts its authenticity. How could such
a masterpiece be hidden for centuries
Drawing upon a lifetime of singularly focused
devotion to its history, Cornelia reveals the
secrets behind the mystery of Girl In Hyacinth
Blue. From the moment three centuries ago when an
impoverished Dutch artist painted the beautiful
image of his daughter seated at an open window,
the legendary masterpiece has been admired,
coveted and pursued by its owners-from
impoverished farmers to a wealthy society woman
(Ellen Burstyn). All forever entwined in its
legacy and unknowing participants in its future.
Based on Susan Vreeland's best-seller, Brush With
Fate traces the history of a masterpiece that has
changed many lives, but still has a greater secret
