Описание: Now available again, this visually stunning collection of Gustav Klimt's landscape paintings brings to light a lesser-known aspect of the Viennese painter's oeuvre. While Gustav Klimt is largely revered for his opulent, symbolladen portraits of the Viennese bourgeoisie, these works were just one aspect of his artistic expression. His landscapes represent an important facet of his career and are a valuable contribution to the school of European nature painting.

For many years the artist travelled to the Austrian and Italian countryside during the summer, where he took advantage of the extraordinary light and spectacular hues to paint and sketch landscapes. Among the most exquisite of Klimt's landscapes are those in which he experimented with composition and style. Accompanied by scholarly essays, the images reproduced in this book comprise all extant landscapes from this brilliant artist, proving that his mastery extends beyond portraiture and revealing themes that appeared throughout his life's work.

Описание:
Giambologna (1529-1606) is widely regarded as the most important European sculptor between Michelangelo and Bernini. Although we know a great deal about his success, we know little of Giambologna's formative years in Italy, before he rose to prominence. How did he come to achieve his status as the preeminent sculptor of his time?
This volume investigates this question and retraces Giambologna's winding path to success. We follow the young sculptor as he embarks on a study trip to Rome in the middle of the sixteenth century, and on his return home when he visits Florence and decides to stay. We observe how he becomes the star at the Medici court and sees his sculptures sent on to the princely courts of Europe, where they would become sought-after gifts. This beautifully illustrated volume ventures into new academic territory--probing the artist's largely unknown early work and his study of Michelangelo--to shed fresh light on the development of a genius.
