Haunting landscapes, mythical creatures, and a style that stirred the new gothic revival: that is the enchanted world of Anne Sudworth. Finally, here is a comprehensive collection of her marvelous works, along with a selection of studies and roughs, an appendix featuring an illustrated treatment of her techniques, and incisive commentary by both award-winning writer John Grant and the artist herself. Anne Sudworth presented her landmark exhibition 'Visions and Views' in 1993, devoted to her more imaginative and fantastical works. The triumph of this exhibition led her to devote her energies almost exclusively to fantasy and now, while continuing to display her work to great acclaim in orthodox galleries, she shows also with equal success at fantasy and science-fiction conventions. John Grant is the author of Encyclopaedia of Walt Disney's Animated Characters. Technical Editor of the Clute/Nicholls' Encyclopaedia of Science Fiction (for which he shared a rare BSFA Special Award), co-editor with John Clute of The Encyclopaedia of Fantasy and co-author with Ron Tiner of The Encyclopaedia of Fantasy and Science Fiction Art Techniques.

Botticelli logró llevar como nadie al mundo de las artes plásticas los ideales humanistas proclamados por poetas y pensadores. Su obra materializa la belleza idealizada que enaltecían los neoplatónicos como Marsilio Ficino. Pinto con su estilo claro, perfilado y esencialmente poetico escenas propias de la tradicion cristiana y de la Antiguedad clasica. Las famosas obras alegoricas dedicadas a Lorenzo el Magnifico, principe de la familia Medicis, lo convierten en uno de los representantes mas significativos de ese periodo de florecimiento de las artes y de la cultura que fue el Renacimiento. Encuadernacion: Tapa dura.
