Instead of depicting historical battles, heroic figures, or remaining faithful to political upheavals, a group of artists began to dedicate themselves to depicting the common man, his customs, clothing, and daily life, forming the foundations of what we now know as Impressionism. \u003cem\u003e*The Judgment of Paris\u003c\/em\u003e *, Ross King's vivid account of the movement's emergence and rise, explores its key events, conflicts, and central figures through a narrative replete with complex plots, storylines, and contradictory characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Judgment of Paris\u003c\/em\u003e , whose original title is a pun on the mythological beauty contest between the goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite—judged by Paris—chronicles the period between two art exhibitions: the scandalous Salon des Refusés of 1863 and the First Impressionist Exhibition of 1874. King offers a fascinating account of the interaction between artists, art juries, critics, and the general public surrounding the annual and prestigious Paris Salon and other events in the art world. The parallel careers of two radically opposite painters serve as a lens through which to understand their times: while the traditional and prestigious Ernest Meissonier valued the representation of historical moments with meticulous precision, the avant-garde Édouard Manet, with an appreciation for his own style, turned to landscapes and ordinary people, initiating a true revolution in art history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159818453244,"sku":"9788501077035","price":139.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/3308e8f4cb27c48b387c49678dc0d403.jpg?v=1778319941"},{"product_id":"leonardo-e-a-ultima-ceia-uma-biografia-da-obra-prima-de-da-vinci","title":"Leonardo and the Last Supper: A Biography of Da Vinci's Masterpiece","description":"The biography of the masterpiece that changed the history of art\n \nIn 1495, while experiencing a period of professional insecurity and financial hardship, Leonardo da Vinci prepared to begin what would become one of the most influential works of art in history: The Last Supper—a complex, 15-by-20-foot mural that would take three years to complete. Not only had da Vinci never painted such a large area, but he also had no experience with fresco painting, a physically exhausting method.\n In Leonardo and the Last Supper, Ross King provides a detailed account of da Vinci's last five years in Milan.

His beloved wife, Alice, and his eldest son, Jean, had died. His keen vision, which Cézanne called \"the most prodigious eye in the history of painting,\" was threatened by cataracts.

From the painting of the Sistine Chapel to the construction of the dome of the Church of Santa Maria del Fiore, his talent for historical settings has won over audiences and critics, making DOMINÓ a fascinating journey into the tumultuous world of London in the 1770s. Sophisticated and sensual, the book follows the journey of the young and unhappy painter George Cautley. Ambitious, he leaves his father's home, a country parish priest, to meet 'influential people' in the capital of the Empire. Adrift in the gilded world of 18th-century London, he dreams of conquering the world, the elegant mansions, and the theaters of Europe. And of meeting his idol, the prestigious artist Sir Endymion Starker. In his clumsy attempts, he encounters not only Starker but also Elonora, his tragic lover, as well as the mysterious and beautiful Lady Beauclair. Captivating, Petronella Beauclair agrees to pose for George. During sessions in the small attic where the painter's studio is located, she tells him the scandalous story of Tristano, a castrato singer in Handel's opera company fifty years earlier. Amidst a labyrinth of characters whose fates intersect at costume parties and in real-life retreats, nothing is as it seems, and Cautley finds himself on the verge of committing acts he never would have dreamed possible: sadomasochism and murder. Filled with mystery and suspense immersed in vivid historical detail, DOMINÓ is also a contemplative account of the world's disguises and the search for hidden truth.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175919272188,"sku":"9788501079862","price":109.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/4a7f6f1d3a0e1ea5d41dc76568ec8cdf_c3633f2a-dc15-4f0a-b240-6ae5897726da.jpg?v=1778317351"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/ross-king.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
