Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Kunst - Uebergreifende Betrachtungen; Note: 1;3; Heinrich-Heine-Universitauml;t Duuml;sseldorf (Kunstgeschichte); Veranstaltung: Kunstmarkt und Portrauml;tgeschihcte im 18. Jh.; Sprache: Deutsch; Abstract: Die Hannoveraner bestiegen Anfang des 18. Jh. den englischen Thron. Bis auf Georg III. waren alle Kouml;nige der Dynastie sehr unbeliebt beim Volk. Um sich als englische Herrscher zu etablieren begann Georg der I. sich die Neuerungen der Portrauml;tkunst zu nutze zu machen um sein Image zu verbessern. Georg III. verstand es letztlich sogar mittels seiner Kouml;nigsportrauml;ts seine eigen Person zu promoten; und die Herzen der Englauml;nder zu gewinnen.In der Arbeit zeige ich den Wandel der Herrscherbilder vom absolutistischen Portrauml;t bis zum conversation piece auf und vollziehe dabei die Geschihcte der Hannoveraner Kouml;nige nach.

GoodBy Kindle CustomerGreat story. but I could have done without the explicit sex. especially since it was focused mainly on the female character and left the males part mostly to the readers imagination. Personally. it would have been better for the author to leave it all to the imagination and stick to the story line. What makes authors think our lives are so boring that we need to fantasize about the sexual exploits of fictional characters? If I needed that. Id rent an X-rated movie.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Try the Real Thing InsteadBy P. L. McKinleyHonest response-I stopped reading after half of the second chapter. The characters as introduced at the beginning of the book were unlikeable; the narrative seemed forced. the dialogue stilted. and the plot unbelievable. I never even got to the main protagonist. who might have partially redeemed the book. but I doubt it. I was very disappointed because art. art theft. and world travel are all interests of mine. In spite of the comments about the book which led me to order it. Mr. Swan is definitely not an Ian Pears. whose series about the same topic is a favorite.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Mr Swan has drawn very interesting charactersBy P LiskIn this book. Inspector Oxby has lurked in the background until the climax. His presence is a constant question. Is he with us or is he not? At a crucial moment. he makes his appearance. only we dont really know that he has arrived.His strong presence is there at the end to tie the story together. I know that I will enjoy Mr Swans other stories. He provides a good reliable read.
