These 110 deceptively simple illustrations are the great achievement of English artist John Flaxman. Awash in pathos and recalling a classically Greek style, they have inspired such artists as Goya and Ingres.
"This volume is issue in the hope that it may be useful to art students. It includes the entire series of Flaxman's compositions in illustration of the Tragedies of Aeschylus."--Publisher's notice
John Flaxman (1755-1826) was a leading exponent of British Neoclassicism, renowned during his lifetime for minimally drawn illustrations. Featuring texts by eminent curator and art historian David Bindman, this catalogue consists predominantly of drawings and plaster models for sculpture from the UCL Art Museum at University College London. Having learnt the techniques of sculpting in his father's plaster-cast workshop, Flaxman began his own career as a designer for Josiah Wedgwood's world-famous pottery.
The recent exhibitions dedicated to Botticelli around the world show, more than ever, the significant and continued debate about the artist. Botticelli Past and Present engages with this debate. The book comprises four thematic parts, spanning four centuries of Botticelli’s artistic fame and reception from the fifteenth century. Each part comprises a number of essays and includes a short introduction which positions them within the wider scholarly literature on Botticelli. The parts are organised chronologically beginning with discussion of the artist and his working practice in his own time, moving onto the progressive rediscovery of his work from the late eighteenth to the turn of the twentieth century, through to his enduring impact on contemporary art and design. Expertly written by researchers and eminent art historians and richly illustrated throughout, the broad range of essays in this book make a valuable contribution to Botticelli studies.
