Book Description
The most learned of the Latin Fathers, Saint Jerome had an eventful life, spending time as a hermit, becoming a priest, serving as secretary to Pope Damasus I and later establishing a monastery at Bethlehem. His most ambitious achievement was his Latin translation of the Bible, the Vulgate, based on a Hebrew version, rather than the Septuagint. He believed that mainstream Rabbinical Judaism had rejected the Septuagint as invalid scriptural texts, due to Hellenistic mistranslations. Jerome’s numerous biblical, ascetical, monastic and theological works went on to have a profound influence in the early Middle Ages. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the ancient world, with both English translations and the original Latin texts. This eBook presents Jerome’s collected works, with illustrations, introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Delphi Complete Works of Jacopo da Pontormo (Illustrated)
Author: Jacopo da Pontormo
Publisher: Delphi Classics
ISBN: 1801702098
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 411
Book Description
The Florentine master Jacopo da Pontormo is the greatest exponent of Mannerism, an artistic style that predominated Italy at the end of the Renaissance. His works broke away from the prevailing classicism of his time to create a more personal, expressive technique. He is famous for his use of sinuous poses, elongated forms and ambiguous perspective. The agitated, almost neurotic emotionalism of his works offers an unusual departure from the balance and tranquillity of the High Renaissance. Pontormo’s extraordinary achievements anticipated the Baroque, as well as the radical work of El Greco. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail. This volume presents Pontormo’s complete paintings, with concise introductions, hundreds of high quality images and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Book Description
The Florentine master Jacopo da Pontormo is the greatest exponent of Mannerism, an artistic style that predominated Italy at the end of the Renaissance. His works broke away from the prevailing classicism of his time to create a more personal, expressive technique. He is famous for his use of sinuous poses, elongated forms and ambiguous perspective. The agitated, almost neurotic emotionalism of his works offers an unusual departure from the balance and tranquillity of the High Renaissance. Pontormo’s extraordinary achievements anticipated the Baroque, as well as the radical work of El Greco. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail. This volume presents Pontormo’s complete paintings, with concise introductions, hundreds of high quality images and the usual Delphi bonus material.
