Sinossi
Excerpt from Notes on Sculptures in Rome and Florence: Together With a Lucianic Fragment and a Criticism of Peacock's Poem Rhododaphne
In writing to Peacock on the 20th of April, 1818, Shelley says, You tell me nothing of Rhododaphne, a book from which, I confess, I expected extraordinary success. Mr. Rossetti (poetical Works, 1878, Vol. 1, page 150) mentions as a minor work of 1818, now perhaps lost, a criticism by Shelley of that poem and I presume it was written in the early part of the year. It seems to have been meant for a newspaper or maga' zine article, and sent to Leigh Hunt, among whose papers it was found by Mr. Townshend Mayer-not, unfors tunately, quite complete. It was either dictated to or transcribed by Mrs. Shelley but the ms, mainly in her writing, has been carefully revised and interpolated by Shelley. It is headed, in review fashion, Rhododaphne or the Thessalian Spell a poema-hoolchams. That book though published anonymously in 1818, is acknowledged in the Collected Works of Thomas Love Peacock, pub lished in 1875, 111 three volumes, by Messrs. R. Bentley Sons.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. Shelley's Notes on Sculptures in Rome and Florence is a discerning collection of observations and reflections on some of the most famous works of classical sculpture. The author provides not only detailed descriptions of each piece, but also insights into their historical and cultural significance. Shelley's keen eye for detail and his deep understanding of the human form allow him to capture the essence of these timeless masterpieces. The book is divided into two parts, the first focusing on sculptures in Rome and the second on those in Florence. This arrangement allows Shelley to explore the different styles and traditions of these two major centers of artistic production. In Rome, he examines iconic works such as the Arch of Titus, the Laocoà n, and the Venus Anadyomene. In Florence, he turns his attention to pieces by Michelangelo, including his Bacchus and PietÃ. Throughout the book, Shelley's passion for art and his commitment to close observation are evident. He notes the "ineffable beauty" of the Niobe, the "serene dignity" of the Apollo Belvedere, and the "divine and supernatural beauty" of the Venus de Milo. He also provides valuable insights into the techniques and materials used by the sculptors, offering a deeper understanding of their creative processes. Shelley's Notes on Sculptures in Rome and Florence is an essential read for anyone interested in classical sculpture, art history, or the writings of one of the greatest Romantic poets. His observations are not only informative but also thought-provoking, inviting readers to engage with these works of art on a deeper level and to appreciate their enduring beauty and significance.
