Romantik

The first in-depth study since the 1980s of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, a building that is often considered the most impressive architectural expression of the Romantic imagination and that has become a hallmark of Regency style<BR>  <BR> Created between 1787 and 1823 by George IV, the Royal Pavilion in Brighton is perhaps the most daring and enchanting example of a building that expresses the European fascination with what in the early nineteenth century was considered the “Orient,” in particular China and India. The building, with its Indian-inspired exterior, was the work of the renowned architect John Nash, who with the contributions of several other gifted and inventive architects, artists, and designers, created a building that draws you in, takes you on a journey, and plays with your senses.<BR>  <BR> Featuring new photography, this lavishly illustrated book will provide a fresh look at the sumptuous Chinoiserie interiors of the Royal Pavilion and their enduring appeal. Drawing on recent research, conservation projects, and the unprecedented loan exhibition A Prince’s Treasure: From Buckingham Palace to the Royal Pavilion (2019–22), this book celebrates the colours and sensual beauty of these interiors while situating the Royal Pavilion in the context of the time of its creation and development under royal ownership, from its beginning in the wake of the French Revolution, through its transformation and extension during and just after the Napoleonic Wars, to its fate and legacy in the early Victorian era.

El chulo de Las Vegas, es un joven soltero que se deleita de las mujeres hermosas y adineradas de la alta sociedad, donde con sus encantos de galan las cortejaba para quitarles sus fortunas despilfarrandolas en lujos y juegos. Pero en su vida surge un cambio inesperado que jamas penso que ocurriera.

Klassizismus und Romantik galten lange Zeit als einander entgegengesetzt. Doch in beiden zugleich liegt der Ursprung der Moderne, und beide reagierten auf vergleichbare Krisen der Kunst. Andreas Beyer stellt die Epoche mit ihren Protagonisten und Hauptwerken in Malerei, Architektur und Skulptur vor. Er umreißt das Panorama einer Kunstperiode, die einen frühen internationalen Stil ausbildete und in vielem vorwegnahm, was die Kunst bis heute charakterisiert und belebt.<BR>
