Tiepolo Pink

Производитель: "Неизвестный"

The eighteenth-century Venetian painter Giambattista Tiepolo spent his life executing commissions in churches, palaces, and villas, often covering vast ceilings like those at the Wurzburg Residenz in Germany and the Royal Palace in Madrid with frescoes that are among the glories of Western art. The life of an epoch swirled around him - but though his contemporaries appreciated and admired him, they failed to understand him. Few have even attempted to tackle Tiepolo`s series of thirty-three bizarre and haunting etchings, the Capricci and the Scherzi, but Roberto Calasso rises to the challenge, interpreting these etchings as chapters in a dark narrative that contains the secret of Tiepolo`s art. Blooming ephebes, female satyrs, Oriental sages, owls, snakes: we will find them all, including Punchinello and Death, within the pages of this book, along with Venus, Time, Moses, numerous angels, Cleopatra and Beatrice of Burgundy - a motley, gypsyish company always on the go.

Calasso, Roberto

▪ Italian author, editor, and publisher
born 1941, Florence, Italy

      Italian editor, publisher, and writer whose book Le nozze di Cadmo e Armonia (1988; The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony) achieved international critical and popular acclaim.

      While a student at the University of Rome, where he received a degree in English literature, Calasso began working for Adelphi Edizioni, a publisher of classic and modern literature. He married novelist Fleur Jaeggy and became managing director and managing editor of Adelphi. His first novel, L'impuro folle (1974; “The Impure Madman”), is an emotive presentation of madness, written in lyrical styles from comic to epic and from arcane to popular. Calasso started what he considered a work in progress with the publication of his second novel, La rovina di Kasch (1983; The Ruins of Kasch). It is a chaotic text built on an ancient African legend of the kingdom of Kasch and its decline after it abandons its traditional ritual sacrifice of the king. The second volume, The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony, retells classic Greek myths in an attempt to evoke the primal meanings they once conveyed—the absolute and arbitrary power of nature and existence as embodied in the gods. In 1996 he published Ka (Eng. trans. Ka), in which he treated Indian mythology.
