Opis: Florence and Her Art (Classic Reprint) - Biermann Georg
Excerpt from Florence and Her Art<br><br>In the enchanted realm of pure loveliness the art of Florence reigns supreme. Hither, on a day in the golden past, borne up by murmuring Spring breezes came Aphrodite, the Foam-born, new risen from the sparkling waves. Above her head the blue heaven smiled and flooded the Tuscan landscape with glowing colour; her milk-white body gleamed beneath the warm rays of the noon-day sun. The fire of creative genius, kindled at her radiant glance, leapt into being, joyous and exultant, in the hearts of mighty men. Beneath her footsteps the dormant earth awoke to trembling life, and tiny buds swelled and burst into an iridescent flood of many-tinted bloom. Eternal freshness breathed upon them with the rising sun: thenceforth they neither wither nor decay. Against the intoxication of their perfume the flight of centuries cannot prevail, and men flock, year in, year out, to draw deep breaths of the magic incense that steeps their senses in visions of beauty, and leads them upwards and onwards out of the sordid turmoil of the workaday world into a higher - a more ideal - existence, into those wide realms of Art, where Beauty reigns triumphant and supreme.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
