The book's pages feature the names of legendary artists—from Manet, Renoir, Van Gogh, and Gauguin to Picasso—and those who stood "beyond the canvas": dealers, patrons, and collectors, including Russian collectors who missed out on some masterpieces and managed to buy others. Auctions, the mysteries of the paintings' origins, discoveries beneath layers of paint—all come together to form a living puzzle, dramatic and deeply human.

Natalia Semenova's books about the collectors Shchukin, Morozov, Ryabushinsky, Ostroukhov, and Vollard have become bestsellers and have been reprinted several times. The secret to Semenova's success lies in her talent for creating captivating stories, breathing life into historical figures so masterfully that the reader feels like they know them well and remains raptly engaged in the intrigue until the very end.

Between book releases, the author never stops working, constantly making a multitude of discoveries that at first glance seem unrelated, but as it turns out, are very much so! That's why her new book is titled "Bound by Art: The Journeys of Paintings and Collections." Like a true detective, Semenova uncovers secret connections, incredible coincidences, and unknown stories, inviting the reader to join her in solving the resulting art historical puzzle.
