DOWNLOAD EBOOKSet in the world of fine art and led by three generations of strong women, "The Art Lover" tells the story of three couples and how they each finally find love. Foremost to this tale is the childhood attachment, adolescent estrangement, and adult reconciliation between artistically-gifted Kate Germaine and her mother, Joanne. But it is also about the passion that museum director Phillip Gambrell and art teacher Janovar Savocek come to share, and the arduous and ultimately triumphant courtship of the art collector Countess Elena D'Allessandro Ricci by her confidential agent, Eduard LaValle.From the home of a portrait painter and his wife to the galleries of a great museum, and from the classroom of a brutally brilliant art teacher to the isolated retreat of Riablo, the legendary modern artist, the love of art and the art of love beautifully merge in this epic tale of discovery.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNo city but Florence contains such an intense concentration of art produced in such a short span of time. The sheer number and proximity of works of painting, sculpture, and architecture in Florence can be so overwhelming that Florentine hospitals treat hundreds of visitors each year for symptoms brought on by trying to see them all, an illness famously identified with the French author Stendhal. While most guidebooks offer only brief descriptions of a large number of works, with little discussion of the historical background, Judith Testa gives a fresh perspective on the rich and brilliant art of the Florentine Renaissance in An Art Lover's Guide to Florence. Concentrating on a number of the greatest works, by such masters as Botticelli and Michelangelo, Testa explains each piece in terms of what it meant to the people who produced it and for whom they made it, deftly treating the complex interplay of politics, sex, and religion that were involved in the creation of those works. With Testa as a guide, armchair travelers and tourists alike will delight in the fascinating world of Florentine art and history.
