Download or read book Delphi Collected Works of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (Illustrated) written by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2022-07-18 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading exponent of the French Post-Impressionists, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec observed and painted with great psychological insight the personalities and extraordinary characters of Parisian nightlife of the late nineteenth century. He was an exceptionally talented draughtsman, whose works conjure an unbridled sense of dynamism, propelled by his use of free-flowing and expressive line. Unlike van Gogh, Munch and Gauguin, his works never explore his own feelings and emotions, but those that are being conveyed from outside — from the subjects themselves, offering a unique voice in the development of modern art. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail. This volume presents Lautrec’s collected works in beautiful detail, with concise introductions, hundreds of high quality images and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Download or read book Delphi Collected Works of Philostratus (Illustrated) written by Philostratus the Athenian and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2023-01-25 with total page 2304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philostratus the Athenian was a third century AD sophist, who settled in Rome as a member of the learned circle of the Empress Julia Domna. His celebrated ‘Life of Apollonius of Tyana’ is by far the longest biography to survive from classical times and it became one of the most widely discussed literary works of later antiquity. It employs an engaging style that brings to life its charismatic subject — a teacher and religious reformer that travels across the known world, from the Atlantic to the Ganges. His miracles, which include extraordinary cures and inexplicable disappearances, blended with his apparent triumph over death, resulted in many pagans regarding Apollonius as a rival to Jesus of Nazareth. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts. This eBook presents Philostratus’ collected works, with illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1) * Beautifully illustrated with images relating to Philostratus’ life and works * Features the collected works of Philostratus, in both English translation and the original Greek * Concise introductions to the works * Includes translations previously appearing in the Loeb Classical Library editions of Philostratus * Excellent formatting of the texts * Easily locate the sections you want to read with individual contents tables * Includes Philostratus’ rare letters, first time in digital print * Also includes the two ‘Imagines’ by Philostratus’ relatives, Philostratus of Lemnos, and Philostratus the Younger * Provides a special dual English and Greek text, allowing readers to compare the sections paragraph by paragraph — ideal for students * Features a bonus biography — discover Philostratus’ ancient world * Ordering of texts into chronological order and literary genres Please note: there are no translations available in the public domain of 'Gymnasticus' and 'Heroicus' and so they cannot appear in this edition.
