Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa, based on a pedagogical approach, in order to present information accessibly, even for those who do not have a background in History or History of Art. On the other hand, the book brings well-documented information, based on testimonials of some of the most renowned researchers who have studied the subject. Before addressing the subject of the book, the author presents the stories of the first three portraits painted by Leonardo Da Vinci: the portrait of Ginevra de’ Benci; the portrait known as The lady with an Ermine and the portrait of La Belle Ferronnière, aiming to use these three paintings to observe Leonardo’s evolving creative process in portrait painting (non-religious paintings), before painting his iconic Mona Lisa, which is thoroughly analyzed in many aspects.

Book Synopsis Opera Companies and Houses of Western Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand by : Karyl Lynn Zietz
Download or read book Opera Companies and Houses of Western Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand written by Karyl Lynn Zietz and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although books have been written about various opera houses throughout the world, no one work has covered more than a relatively small number of the larger, well known companies and houses, and none have made more than brief mention of the smaller houses. No book has comprehensively listed opera repertories. Little, in sum, has been written about any of the smaller companies and houses located in non-English-speaking countries. This is the most comprehensive reference book ever written on opera companies and houses in Western Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand--over 300, from the well known to the smaller. Each entry includes a history of the opera house or company, the works (title and composer) and type of productions offered, company staff, world and country premieres, repertory, and practical information on the theater's address, nearby hotel accommodations and how to order tickets. Most entries conclude with a bibliography.
Download or read book Mona Lisa written by Martin Kemp and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-26 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read this book and the world's most famous image will never look the same again. For the world's greatest cultural icon still has secrets to reveal - not the silly secrets that the 'Leonardo loonies' continue to advance, but previously unknown facts about the lives of Leonardo, his father, Lisa Gherardini, the subject of the portrait, and her husband Francesco del Giocondo. From this factual beginning we see how the painting metamorphosed into a 'universal picture' that became the prime vehicle for Leonardo's prodigious knowledge of the human and natural worlds. We learn about the new money of the ambitious merchant who married into the old gentry of Lisa's family. We discover Lisa's life as a wife and mother, her association with sexual scandals, and her later life in a convent. We meet, for the first time, previously undiscovered members of Leonardo's immediate family and discover new information about his early life. The tiny hill town of Vinci is placed before us, with its widespread poverty. We find out about the career and possessions of his father, a notable lawyer in Florence. The meaning of the portrait that resulted from these human circumstances is vividly illuminated though Renaissance love poetry and verses specifically dedicated to Leonardo. We come to understand how Leonardo's sciences of optics, psychology, anatomy and geology are embraced in his poetic science of art. Recent scientific examinations of the painting disclose how it evolved to assume its present appearance in Leonardo's experimental hands. Above all, we cut through the suppositions and the myths to show that the portrait is a product of real people in a real place at a real time. This is the book that brings back a sense of reality into the creation of the portrait of Lisa del Giocondo. And the actual Mona Lisa, it turns out, is even more astonishing and transcendent than the Mona Lisa of legend.

Book excerpt: Barbara Spackman here examines the ways in which decadent writers adopted the language of physiological illness and alteration as a figure for psychic otherness.
