Conrad Martin Metz was an eminent engraver in the chalk manner and aquatint. He received his education in art under the celebrated Bartolozzi. Bartolozzi developed his style to imitate the subtleties of renaissance and baroque chalk drawings and became deservedly famous for his stipple engraving. The portraits in this collection show how effective this technique was in reproducing with such incredible fidelity Holbein's original designs. Metz also specialized in imitations and facsimiles of old masters such as Holbein. Accompanied by a biographical tract giving a brief history of Lady Eliot. Engraved by METZ, C. Size: 230 x 305 mm. Stipple engraving. Printed colour. Fine condition. N° de réf. du vendeur 55761

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Kassel, language: English, abstract: In summary, in this paper the poem 'Portrait of a Lady' written by T. S. Eliot has been placed in a beginning of the 20th century genre of portraiture in painting and regarded as a modern portrait. There is a remarkable similarity of techniques implied in Eliot's poem and used by modern portrait artists such as different media of expression, technique of deconstruc-tion, incomprehensible image and flatness. The poem represents a dual portrait of an elderly lady and her friend, the young narrator. Both figures are characterised by their dramatic monologues from different perspectives. A great deal of the impressive effect of the poem is achieved through dramatic verse that exactly express the tones of the lady's speech. The free verse and effects of rhythm help to provide this impression. The technique of disembodiment and fragmentation used by Eliot shows certain similarities to cubist portrait artists who broke the portrayed subject up and re-assembled it in a new form. Furthermore, 'Portrait of a Lady' provides a shifting succession of thoughts, consciousness, protean in its variety of music and tone and depicts the figures' internal drama without creating a comprehensible image of their appearance. In addition, the lady imitates in her speech Arnold and expresses her feelings through quotations and, therefore, is mentally absent, though she eliminates the narrator's consciousness of himself as facing her. However, the observer registers the look of absorption which dominates the imaginary face of the lady. This effect of flatness is directly connected with modern portrait painters such as Édouard Manet.Therefore, it can be concluded that Eliot's 'Portrait of a Lady' is a notable example of the modern portrait in poetry. 24 pp. Englisch.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of letters written by Lady Harriot Eliot, a young woman who was a close friend and confidante of her brother, William Pitt the Younger, who served as Prime Minister of Great Britain. The letters provide a glimpse into the social and political world of 18th-century England, and offer insights into the life and character of William Pitt. Lady Harriot's letters are filled with lively descriptions of the events of her day, from the latest gossip and fashion news to the political debates and controversies that consumed London society. She was a keen observer of the human condition, and her letters offer a rich and detailed portrait of the people and events that shaped her life. Through Lady Harriot's eyes, we see the inner workings of the British government, the struggles of the American Revolution, and the personal lives of some of the most famous figures of the age. We also see the development of Lady Harriot's own character, as she grows from a young girl into a mature woman. The author has done an excellent job of selecting and editing these letters, and the result is a fascinating and informative book that sheds light on a pivotal period in British history.
