Wallach Art Gallery, Columbia University, New York: 15 September - 21 November 1998] ; "The reputation of William Hogarth (1697-1764) rests largely on his pictorial stories, a series of engravings that he called "modern Moral Subjects," the most famous being the Harlot's and the Rake's Progress. In this catalog, David Bindman works backward from Hogarth's reputation today--where he is seen by some as a conservative populist and by others as a political radical--and examines his impact on various artists over the past three centuries. Bindman also sets Hogarth's prints firmly in their historical context, discussing the artist's public and the different influences on his work, from Roman satire to the politics of the day. The result is an engaging and insightful portrayal not only of William Hogarth, but also of the middle years of the eighteenth century. Art lovers will enjoy this book, but so too will anyone with an interest in the literature and history of the mid-eighteenth century. " ; FINE. Book.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What if the first murder was only the beginning Before history was written.Before myth became scripture.Before monsters had names.Cain-firstborn son of Adam, brother to Abel, and the world's first exile-has walked the earth far longer than any man was ever meant to. Cursed by God, hunted by angels, betrayed by blood, and reshaped by forces older than creation itself, Cain becomes something far more than a murderer. and far more than human.Through centuries of wandering, Cain crosses paths with fallen angels, giants, demons, false gods, and kings. He watches civilizations rise and fall, faith twist into cruelty, and love turn to legend. Every age leaves its mark on him, carving him into a being of shadow, blood, and regret.But Cain's greatest enemy is not time, nor heaven, nor hell.It is his brother.As Abel returns-changed, immortal, and monstrous-the ancient rivalry ignites once more, threatening not just Cain's cursed existence, but the fate of humanity itself. To save what remains of his family, Cain must confront his past, his sins, and the terrible truth of what he has become.My Brother's Reaper is a sweeping dark fantasy that reimagines the biblical origins of evil, immortality, and redemption-told through the eyes of the man who was never allowed to die.Some curses end in death.Others are far worse.…
