Marius is born into a patrician family in the second-century Roman Empire. After the death of his parents, he is sent to boarding school, where he absorbs the rituals and beliefs of his homeland. As he matures, he explores various philosophies until he becomes the amanuensis to Emperor Marcus Aurelius, a prominent Stoic thinker. Marius engages with Stoicism but soon becomes intrigued by Christianity. His quest for meaning allows Pater to explore key themes, such as the impact of childhood experiences on adult personality and the value of an aesthetic life balanced with modest pleasures, distinguishing it from hedonism's destructive excess. The narrative emphasizes Marius's inner conflict regarding religion, mirroring Pater's own longing for the simplicity of his youthful faith. Marius's journey takes him through paganism, philosophy, and Christianity, as he seeks the comfort of lost rituals. Ultimately, he finds peace elusive. The work stands as a significant milestone in 19th-century explorations of religion and philosophy, employing a complex structure of frame narratives, epistolary fragments, orations, and dialogues. This innovative approach foreshadows the modernism that would characterize 20th-century literature, earning it recognition as a remarkable fictional experiment of its time.
Through his highly idiosyncratic readings of some of the finest paintings, sculptures, and poems of the French and Italian Renaissance, Walter Pater in Studies in the History of the Renaissance redefined the practice of criticism as an impressionistic, almost erotic exploration of the critic's aesthetic responses. Pater's infamous nullConclusion, null which forever linked him with the decadent movement, scandalized many with its insistence on making pleasure the sole motive of life, even as it charmed fellow aesthetes such as Oscar Wilde. This edition of Studies reproduces the text of the first edition of 1873. Matthew Beaumont's Introduction describes the cultural context that gave rise to the book, the reasons for its notoriety, Pater's philosophical outlook, and the arguments in his book. It explores Pater's work as an attempt to preserve the unique aesthetic of a work of art in the face of encroaching mass culture. The book also includes the later chapter on Giorgione as an Appendix, comprehensive notes that identify the many literary and artistic references, and a useful glossary of names. - Publisher
Oscar Wilde called this collection of essays the "holy writ of beauty." Published to great acclaim in 1837, it examines the work of Renaissance artists such as Winckelmann and the then neglected Botticelli, and includes a celebrated discussion of the Mona Lisa in a study of Da Vinci. The book strongly influenced art students and aesthetes of the day and is still valuable for the insights it offers and the beauty of the writing.
The quintessential "Renaissance man," Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) is still recognized today for his accomplishments in science, architecture, and philosophy, as well as his artistic masterworks. Full-color reproductions and thorough text provide a quick yet solid introduction to this master.
