Although a gifted landscape painter, he longed to be seen as the preeminent philosopher-painter of his age. This new biography traces Rosa's strategies of self-promotion and his creation of a new kind of audience for his art. The book describes the startling novelty of his subject matter--witchcraft and divination, as well as prophecies, natural magic, and dark violence--and his early exploration of a nascent aesthetic of the sublime. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSalvator Rosa\u003c\/i\u003e shows how the artist, in a series of remarkable works, responded to new movements in thought and feeling, creating images that spoke to the deepest concerns of his age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helen Langdon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789145732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789145731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2023","brand":"Helen Langdon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059093631231,"sku":"9781789145731","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8d06d352-0bae-4914-b94c-91e6cc3d5400.jpg?v=1685056196","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/salvator-rosa-helen-langdon-9781789145731","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
