Présentation de l'éditeur
It is the desire of the Publisher of this new edition of my Works, that I should prefix a few introductory lines to the first volume of theS eries, The Life and Times of Salvator Rosa. But the great Artist will speak best for himself to the present generation, as he has done to so many others in the course of those two centuries of his triumphs which have swept on toT he years beyond the flood. IP ainter, Poet, Musician, Philosopher, and Patriot, he combined in his fine organisation the supreme elements of high art, with the noblest instincts of intellectual humanity. He worked through his great vocation with a spirit of in dependence that never quailed, and with unflinching resist| ance to the persecutions of despotism and the intrigues I of professional rivalry. His moral dignity refused to pani der to the licentious tastes of the profligate times in which I he flourished, and, in this respect superior to many of his ;great predecessors, he left not one picture that, dying, he might blush to own, while he exhibited in his great historical compositions, The Death of Regulus and The Conspiracy of Catiline, a graphic eloquence which Herodotus and Gibbon have scarcely surpassed.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the life and career of Salvator Rosa, a seventeenth-century Italian artist whose talent and spirit stand out against the backdrop of his era. The author delves into the tumultuous political and social landscape of Italy, particularly Naples, where Rosa was born and spent his formative years. This period was marked by foreign domination, oppressive rule, and widespread suffering. The book traces Rosa's artistic journey, highlighting his early struggles, his rise to prominence as a painter, and his fierce commitment to artistic independence in an age of patronage and suppression. The author examines Rosa's multifaceted genius, exploring his talents as a painter, musician, and poet, and how his creative output reflected his political convictions and his deep empathy for his suffering countrymen. The book delves into Rosa's artistic innovations, particularly his bold rejection of traditional artistic styles and his unique focus on themes of political injustice and the human condition. Through Rosa's life, the book explores the complexities of artistic expression in a turbulent era, revealing how a single individual's vision can transcend political turmoil and leave an enduring mark on the world of art.
