<br/><br/> Dr. Cronin writes of a great painter whose search for beauty led him to give up everything for art: family, friends, social position, career, ultimately his very life and who bequeathed to others a heritage of immortal beauty.  A Thing of Beauty is altogether a memorable novel, whose characters and diverse moods are woven together with a skill and an appeal mastered with a skill and an appeal mastered by only the greatest storytellers of any age.
