Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
These two volumes follow 25 others in the "Pegasus Library" series, advertised as presenting "the passions that drive the masters." Waldmann, a Spanish art specialist, delves into the suspicion some people have entertained over the centuries that Francisco de Goya and one of his patrons, the 13th Duchess of Alba, had an adulterous relationship. Some intriguing paintings, drawings, and prints produced in the 1790s suggest that perhaps they did, but the salacious quotes from a romantic novel and a final image of the duchess's exhumed and decayed corpse are more suited to a tabloid. In contrast, Zollner (art history, Univ. of Leipzig) uses Sandro Botticelli's art to explore virtuous love within marriage. He discusses the intended usage of the paintings in Italian bridal chambers and cites classical and Renaissance literary references for his analysis of iconographic motifs in "La Primavera," "Birth of Venus," and several other paintings. Translated from German, the text of both books flows clearly; they are sturdily constructed, and the color illustrations complement the text well. Certain aspects, however, such as the slender physical format and dust jackets with erotic spine and cover designs, suggest that these books are intended for gift-giving or collecting rather than purchase by libraries. The exception would be libraries that acquire every title on a particular artist.?Anne Marie Lane, American Heritage Ctr., Laramie, WY

Kurzbeschreibung
Die berühmten mythologischen Gemälde des großen Renaissancemalers Sandro Botticelli erzählen spannende Geschichten aus der antiken Götterwelt: vom Windgott Zephyr, der die Nymphe Chloris in die Frühlingsbotin Flora verwandelte oder von der Liebe zwischen Mars und Venus. Die Bilder entstanden auf Bestellung, vorwiegend als Hochzeitsbilder für die mächtige Familie der Medici. Der Autor versteht es, die berühmten Botticelli-Gemälde in aufregender Weise zu interpretieren und zu entschlüsseln

interesting book
28. November 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
It is one of the nicest surprises in terms of Botticelli scholarship. The author (an illustrious Leonardo scholar) is trying to interpret a number of paintings on which there is already quite a lot of bibliography, and does a pretty good job. My only complaint is the fact that sometimes I wish he would deepen and extend his very interesting comments (the book has 128 pages and 72 illustrations, usually taking up the space of a page, so there is not a whole lot of text, and the fonts are pretty big). So, if you are looking for interesting theories concerning Botticelli's mythological paintings, than this is one of the books for you. If you're looking for books with nice pictures, there are better ones available (this one is smallish, and because of the format, although has nice details, the main pictures do not generally fit on a single page).

Good book on Botticelli
19. Mai 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is a good book to start with to learn about Botticelli. It says it has 57 color images (72 total), but many are details of the same works, or related works by other artists. 6 most famous paintings are focused on. The text is pretty interesting, including some art history and explanations of those works. But the small size of the book (about 10 inches high), doesn't allow detailed reproductions. Basically, this is a great book to own if you would rather not pay (the money) for a more complete book, or if you prefer lighter reading. I found "Botticelli: Images of Love and Spring" a pleasant surprise.

illuminating and engaging
12. Januar 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
After reading this book I went to the Uffizi and saw Botticelli in a new light. His writing leads you through the paintings as if you are unravelling a mystery, giving you insight that a modern viewer would otherwise never have. The book is both wonderfully concise and substantial, with details, illustrations, references to the cultural of some of the most beautiful and well-known paintings in the world.
