Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and work of Lorenzini, an esteemed Italian poet and an influential figure in the literary movement of his time. Lorenzini's path to becoming one of the 17th century's foremost poets was unorthodox; after studying to become a Jesuit, he abandoned religious life to become a lawyer, but his true literary calling eventually prevailed. Lorenzini's work as a poet encompassed both Italian and Latin verse, much of which centered on religious themes. Among his most celebrated works are his "Capitoli," which showcased his mastery of language and expression. His fearless and independent spirit were reflected in his writings, which often challenged the literary conventions of his era. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of Lorenzini's remarkable life and literary contributions, providing insights into the evolution of Italian poetry and the broader cultural context that shaped its development.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the renowned painter Protogenes, a celebrated artist from ancient Greece who flourished around 300 B.C. Protogenes lived in obscurity for much of his life, yet his talent eventually gained recognition from prominent figures like Apelles, who sought to pass off Protogenes' work as his own. The author delves into the famous contest of skill between these two artists, which involved drawing increasingly fine lines until Protogenes outsmarted his rival with a final, clever stroke. Protogenes' most acclaimed work was the Ialysus, a depiction of a local hero that was later displayed in the Temple of Peace in Rome. His unique artistic style involved feeding solely on soaked lupins while painting, to avoid distractions from the senses. The enduring legacy of Protogenes is evident in the influence his work had on subsequent generations of artists and the admiration he continues to garner today.
