Beautiful and Broken by Julia Maddalina, inspired by Patrick Rothfuss's novella The Slow Regard of Silent Things.
This oil painting was a passion project spurred on by the Worldbuilders Fundraiser Event at the end of 2018. I am in love with the character of Auri, from Patrick Rothfuss’ The Slow Regard of Silent Things, and I had been wanting to do a solo painting of her for some time. At the time I had challenged myself to paint something in the style of William-Adolphe Bouguereau, a painting hero of mine. As I watched Pat stream on Twitch for the Charity, I couldn’t think of a better time to begin this painting idea that meant so much to me.
As I read and sketched, I realized that rather than paint a specific moment, I wanted to try and capture Auri’s general wonder towards Fulcrum; the true shape of him, the secrets he held, and where he belonged. As a tribute to everyone out there who is “Beautiful and Broken”, this painting is for you. -Julia Maddalina, Artist

Patrick Rothfuss was born in Madison, Wisconsin to awesome parents. After nine years at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, he accidentally had enough credits to graduate with an English degree. Patrick then went to grad school. He’d rather not talk about it. In March 2007, The Name of the Wind was published and met with surprising success. In the years since, it has been translated into 30 languages, won all manner of awards, and become a bestseller in several countries. After a great deal of work and a few raised eyebrows from his patient editor, Wise Man’s Fear came out in March 2011, immediately hitting #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. When not working on the third book of the series, Pat plays with his kiddos, makes mead, and runs Worldbuilders, a geek-centered charity that has raised more than a million dollars for Heifer International.
