This captivating work delves into the lives of three remarkable women - Amélie Matisse, Lydia Delectorskaya, and Marguerite Matisse - who were integral to the life and art of the renowned French painter Henri Matisse.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1930s France, Madame Matisse brings to light the untold stories of these women, exploring themes of love, ambition, sacrifice, and the complexities of muse-artist relationships. Haydock's meticulous research and evocative storytelling offer a fresh perspective on the art world, highlighting the often-overlooked contributions of women in shaping artistic legacies.
