From the same series as Abrams’ successful Saints and Angels comes Myths, richly illustrated with representations of these celestial heralds from ancient murals and pottery to the paintings of Gustav Klimt and Odilon Redon. Author Lucia Impelluso has drawn from a variety of sources, including the plays of Euripides and Aeschylus, the epics of Homer and Virgil, Aesop’s fables, Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Petrarch’s sonnets, and the works of Pindar, Sophocles, Plutarch, Pliny the Elder, and Bocaccio. Beginning with the stories of Earth’s creation and its early rulers, the Titans, Impelluso recounts the major episodes and figures of Greek and Roman mythology, with sections on the gods of the sky, the sea, the earth, and the underworld; the Fates and the Muses; monsters; human heroes; and the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Aeneid. Here are beloved stories, retold and illustrated in a wonderful, giftable format.

Gods and Heroes in Art aims to help museum patrons and art lovers recognize the legendary characters of classical antiquity in art. The characters are each described in entries summarizing their distinctive stories, their special attributes, and the ways in which artists have depicted them. Each entry is richly illustrated with reproductions of works of art in which the god or hero is pictured, giving readers a chance to examine images of the character and to understand the work of art better.

Gardens in Art analyzes the constituent elements of gardens, both real and imagined, and uncovers their often-hidden symbolic meanings. Paintings provide a continuous visual record of the myriad, ephemeral forms of gardens, and in the nearly four hundred works presented here, drawn from important Western museums, subtle lines are used to point out salient details in the paintings for close examination by the reader. In the first five chapters, the author examines the main types of gardens throughout history: from the humble medieval enclosure as a site for sacred or secular devotions, to the garden as a magnificent celebration of the power of popes and kings, to the nineteenth century's great public parks. The second half of the book looks at the decorative elements of gardens-including topiaries, statues, grottoes, and labyrinths--and discusses how these provide clues to their use and importance within the cultures in which they were created.

- Un outil de lecture de l'art occidental indispensable par sa clarté. La tradition gréco-romaine des allégories telle qu'elle peuple nos musées, nos parcs et les frontons des bâtiments officiels. Un guide très illustré et très didactique (450 ill. couleurs) pour identifier les personnages de la mythologie de l'Antiquité présents dans les arts jusqu'au début du XXe siècle.Archétypes des vices et des vertus humaines, les personnages de la mythologie, de la littérature et de l'histoire gréco-romaines sont en quelque sorte nos dignes ancètres et constituent la base de notre culture occidentale. C'est pourquoi ils furent si présents dans l'art, plus particulièrement à la Renaissance, puis à l'époque baroque et néo-classique. Cet ouvrage, consacré aux personnages et aux événements de la mythologie et de l'histoire classiques, permet de s'orienter dans la multitude de noms, symboles, métamorphoses et allégories, et de distinguer figures mythiques et historiques.Il recense tous les personnages et mythes principaux de l'Antiquité à travers une présentation vivante et une iconographie riche de plus de 400 images accompagnées de textes de présentation.
