[audiobook] The Taming of the Shrew (Shakespeare Handbooks) by Margaret Jane Kidnie in Arts-Photography

Description

The career of John Sargent; perhaps the greatest painter of his time; and surely one of the greatest portrayers and interpreters of it in his famous portraits of its most eminent and most representative figures; is here chronicled in successive stages.The figure of the hero stands out in high relief from the narrative which his personality pervades. A wealth of anecdote and of letters enriches the record of work; travel; and triumph; from student days under Carolus-Duran to the time when the presidency of the Royal Academy could have been his; and in all this opulent detail the character of the man overshadows even the distinction of the artist as the true theme of the book.
