Описание: Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836-1912), was one of the finest and most distinctive of the Victorian painters. Dutch-born, he moved to London in 1870 and became famous for his depictions of the luxury and decadence of the Roman Empire, set in fabulous marbled interiors or against a backdrop of dazzling blue Mediterranean sea and sky. In this original study, Rosemary Barrow presents an absorbing and often amusing portrait of an exuberant personality who carved out a brilliant career for himself at the heart of London's artistic and cultural elite. But above all she subjects the paintings to a fresh scrutiny, and reveals that Alma-Tadema, a knowledgeable student of antiquity, repeatedly used literary and archaeologil allusions in his paintings to play a game of interpretation with his viewers. Time and again the seeming innocence of the scenes he depicts is subverted by a mischievously placed inscription or statue, suggesting to the initiated a darker and usually risque meaning. Neglected after his death, Alma-Tadema's paintings are once again admired for their beauty and their remarkable mastery of light, colour and texture. With its intriguing insights into his personality and intentions, this book should provide a challenging reassessment of a major artist.

Описание: Eccentric Planet portrays the relationship between the young Renaissance mathematician Rheticus, and Nicolas Copernicus, the reclusive and cautious astronomer. In 1542 Rheticus described himself as "a rather daring young man." Some might call him reckless. Arthur Koestler, in The Sleepwalkers, presents Rheticus as: "...one of the knights errant of the Renaissance whose enthusiasm fanned borrowed sparks into flame...an enfant terrible, an inspired fool, a condottiere of science, an adoring disciple and, fortunately, either homo- or bi-sexual after the fashion of the time. I say "fortunately" because the so afflicted have always proved to be the most devoted teachers and disciples, from Socrates to this day, and History owes them a debt." A 25-year-old professor at Wittenberg, Rheticus ventured in 1539 to the distant Baltic coast in search of the secretive Copernicus. Brilliant, exuberant, Lutheran and audacious, he presented multiple challenges to the elderly Catholic canon Copernicus. They argued and struggled, and--despite a final betrayal--brought forth a book that changed our understanding of the universe.
