Der Apparatband 7.2 dokumentiert die Überlieferungsgeschichte der von Wieland überarbeiteten Fassungen des Romans "Die Abentheuer des Don Sylvio von Rosalva" von 1772 und 1795 und der für 1768 und 1784 neubearbeiteten "Comischen Erzählungen". Erstmalig im Druck erscheint zudem die handschriftlich überlieferte ‚Kopenhagener‘ Fassung dieser Verserzählungen. Der Kommentar geht im "Don Sylvio" Wielands zahlreichen Verweisen auf französische Feenmärchen nach und erhellt an den "Comischen Erzählungen" Wielands hintergründige Anspielungskunst, die den ohnehin pikanten Stoffen weitere erotische Pointen abzugewinnen weiß.

Il divino: A glorious exploration of Michelangelo's works Before reaching the tender age of 30, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) had already sculpted David and Pietà, two of the most famous sculptures in the entire history of art. As a sculptor, painter, draftsman, and architect, the achievements of this Italian master are unique--no artist before or after him has ever produced such a vast, multifaceted, and wide-ranging oeuvre. This comprehensive book explores Michelangelo's life and work with a richly illustrated biographical essay, and a complete four-part inventory of his paintings, sculptures, buildings, and drawings. Full-page reproductions and enlarged details allow readers to appreciate fine details in the artist's vast repertoire, while the book's biographical insights consider a previously unseen extent to Michelangelo's more personal traits and circumstances, such as his solitary nature, his thirst for money and commissions, his immense wealth, and his skill as a property investor. In addition, the book tackles the controversial issue of the attribution of Michelangelo drawings, an area in which decisions continue to be steered by the interests of the art market and the major collections. This is the definitive work about Michelangelo for generations to come, to be delved into and put on display, with its slipcase neatly converting into a book stand.

Sandro Botticelli

"The celebrated allegorical paintings La Primavera and The Birth of Venus were the source of Sandro Botticelli's rediscovery in both the 16th and 19th centuries, and are still regarded as apogees of Florentine Renaissance painting." "In this volume, the author examines these and other paintings of mythological content by the artist. He retells the stories of classical antiquity from which so many of Botticelli's motifs derive, equipping the reader with tools to appreciate the narrative quality of the artist's works. Descriptions of Botticelli's artistic virtuosity and explanations as to the important role the artist played in Renaissance painting are accompanied by reproductions of the highest quality."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
