Описание: The notion of a golden age set in an earthly paradise has long kindled the human imagination. Virgil envisioned such a place of bucolic pleasures - erotic and unsullied, sometimes shadowed by blunted desires and doubts - in his Eclogues, set in the valley of Arcadia in ancient Greece. What his poems defined for Western art and literature is a theme that continues to this day. Their resonance as a foundation for European painters around 1900 is the purpose of this beautifully illustrated catalogue, which focuses on three monumental paintings - Paul Gauguin's "Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?" (1897-98), Paul Cezanne's "The Large Bathers" (1906), and Henri Matisse's "Bathers by a River" (1909-10, 1913, and 1916-17).
Other masterpieces by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Nicolas Poussin, and Pierre Puvis de Chavannes establish the high value given to Arcadia in the history of French painting. These will be joined by major works by Henri Edmond Cross, Robert Delaunay, Andre Derain, Pablo Picasso, Henri Rousseau, and Paul Signac, as well as paintings by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Franz Marc, and Natalia Goncharova to suggest the vitality of this subject outside the canonical French definitions. Distinguished scholars place these artists within the larger context of this inventive period in art history.

Описание: Perhaps America`s best environmental idea was not the national park but the garden cemetery, a use of space that quickly gained popularity in the mid-nineteenth century. In this title, the author argues that American cemeteries embody a forgotten landscape tradition that has much to teach us in our current moment of environmental crisis.
Автор: Worden Название: The Sound of Virtue - Philip Sidney`s Arcadia and Elizabethan Politics ISBN: 0300209657 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780300209655 Издательство: Wiley yUP Рейтинг: Цена: 35200.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Written around 1580, Philip Sidney's 'Arcadia' is a romance, a love story, a work of wit and enchantment set in an ancient and mythical land. But, as Blair Worden now startlingly reveals, it is also a grave and urgent commentary on Elizabethan politics. Under the protective guise of pastoral fiction, Sidney produced a searching reflection on the misgovernment of Elizabeth I and on the failings of monarchy as a system of government. Blair Worden reconstructs the dramatic events admidst which the 'Arcadia' was composed and shows for the first time how profound is their presence in it. The Queen's failure to resist the Catholic advance at home and abroad, and her apparent resolve to marry the Catholic heir to the French throne, seemed likely to bring tyranny and persecution to England. Her policies provoked a radical political dissent which historians and literary critics have missed, and of which the 'Arcadia' is the most penetrating and eloquent expression. 'The Sound of Virtue' combines, in a manner and on a scale never before attempted, the close analysis of a literary text with the scholarly reconstruction of its historical context. It transforms our understanding of Sidney's masterpiece and offers a new approach to the relationship between the history and literature of the Renaissance. Blair Worden was Fellow and Tutor in History at St Edmund Hall, Oxford, between 1974 and 1995, and is now Professor of Early Modern History at the University of Sussex.
