Reproductie Portret van een man - Cirkel van Arnold Boonen – Boeiende introductie In het uitgestrekte panorama van de kunstgeschiedenis slagen sommige werken erin de tijd te overstijgen en de essentie van de mensheid vast te leggen. De "Portret van een man" van de Cirkel van Arnold Boonen is een van deze iconische stukken, dat een doordringende blik biedt op de menselijke psychologie door de lens van de 17e eeuw. Dit werk, rijk aan nuances en subtiliteiten, roept een tijd op waarin het portret niet alleen een fysieke weerspiegeling was, maar ook een verkenning van emoties en innerlijke gedachten. Bij het bekijken van deze kunstdruk wordt de kijker uitgenodigd om onder te dompelen in een wereld waar kunst en leven verweven zijn, en verborgen verhalen en gevoelens onthullen. Stijl en uniekheid van het werk De "Portret van een man" onderscheidt zich door zijn barokke stijl, gekenmerkt door een vakkundig gebruik van licht en schaduw, dat een opvallend contrast creëert dat het doek tot leven brengt. De techniek van clair-obscur, zo populair in die tijd, maakt het mogelijk om de gelaatstrekken van het onderwerp te accentueren terwijl de rest van de compositie in een mysterieuze sfeer wordt gehuld. De minutieus geschilderde details, van de texturen van de kleding tot de gezichtsuitdrukkingen, getuigen van een uitzonderlijk vakmanschap. Elke penseelstreek lijkt geladen met intentie, en onthult de persoonlijkheid van het model en roept een zeldzame emotionele diepgang op. Dit werk beperkt zich niet tot het afbeelden van een individu; het nodigt de kijker uit om na te denken over de identiteit en de verborgen verhalen achter dit gezicht, waardoor het portret een ware spiegel van de ziel wordt. De kunstenaar en zijn invloed Arnold Boonen, hoewel minder bekend dan sommige van zijn tijdgenoten, heeft zijn tijd gekenmerkt door zijn vernieuwende benadering van het portret. Lid van een kring van invloedrijke kunstenaars, wist hij traditie en moderniteit te combineren, door elementen van de Vlaamse stijl te integreren terwijl hij zich opende voor Italiaanse invloeden. Zijn werk past binnen een context waarin het portret een middel wordt om sociale status en de persoonlijkheid van individuen te bevestigen. Boonen, met zijn onmiskenbare talent, heeft bijgedragen aan het herdefiniëren van het portret als kunst, door de nadruk te leggen op de psychologie van het model in plaats van op een eenvoudige realistische weergave. Zijn nalatenschap blijft voortleven, en inspireert...Shipping Notes

Plato's dialogue about the physical world
Format: Paperback
The two biggest topics in the Timaeus are astronomy and the elements of bodies, which are constructed using triangles and the tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, and cube. I would like to see a translation of the Timaeus that uses it as a way to introduce all the astronomy that appears in the dialogue. Introducing the astronomy does not mean just talking in words about spheres or the zodiac or the ecliptic, but actually explaining how these were used by astronomers. Cornford has much to say, but to someone who has not learned any Greek astronomy his commentary will be opaque and hard to use. I didn't know the astronomy well enough to readily understand Cornford's explanations. I plan to learn more classical Greek astronomy, perhaps using Evans'
, and then read Waterfield's translation of the Timaeus
.
Before reading this you should have read the Republic and know some classical Greek natural philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy. Although Cornford's commentary makes the dialogue staccato, I am glad for it because I wouldn't otherwise have understood much of what Plato says. The Timaeus and the Parmenides are the two dialogues of Plato that one needs commentary to understand; the Parmenides demands the commentary because so much of what is happening depends on the original language, and the Timaeus demands the commentary because of all the things the reader is supposed to be familiar with.
The following is a list of topics I kept while reading the dialogue: theory of Forms 27d-28a, 51a-52a; harmonics 35b-36b; time 37c-38e, 39b-e; vision 45b-46c, 67c-68d; space 52b; surfaces 53c; weight 62d-63e; sound 67a-67c; physiology 70c-79e, 80d-86a; antiperistasis 79e-80c.

Helpful, but Waterfield is better for an intro
Format: Paperback
This is basically a scholarly paragraph-by-paragraph commentary on the Timaeus. It's really good for what it is, but I don't recommend it as your first introduction to the Timaeus -- rather, I recommend Waterfield:
http://www.amazon.com/Timaeus-Critias-Oxford-Worlds-Classics-ebook/dp/B006NTMD16
A problem with using Cornford as an introduction is that he comments on everything, and it's hard to figure out what the main themes are. I tried reading Cornford as an intro and gave it up, but once I'd read Waterfield I found Cornford extremely helpful both in elucidating passages further than Waterfield does, and in interpreting passages Waterfield doesn't cover. So if you're looking to learn about the Timaeus, I'd suggest Waterfield first and Cornford second (or Cornford alongside Waterfield).

Cornford's running commentary is arguably the best suited to fulfill this desire
Readers of any of Plato's works are bound to feel they might profit from various commentaries. His Timaeus, in particular, may be said to elicit such a hope because of number and intricacy of its details. Cornford's running commentary is arguably the best suited to fulfill this desire: it helps make clear the integrity of the dialogue as a whole and illumines the specific points along the way. Although this work is certainly dated, originally published in 1937, it is certainly one of the best full commentaries on the Timaeus.

Plato's view of the creation of the world
Format: Paperback
A cosmology is a narrative concerning the creation of the universe. Many ancient philosophers have written or elaborated this kind of work. The Platonic dialogue Timeus is an account of the work of the creator god (called the demiurge - or artisan) sculpting the chaotic material world in accordance with the immaterial model of the Ideas. But the text was written in a very hermetic and symbolic language, making its interpretation difficult or even impossible without the knowledge of the references and symbols used by Plato. This book is a complete translation of the text followed by a comprehensive commentary explaining in detail every passage. Francis MacDonald Cornford is one of the most important ancient philosophy scholars, and this work reveals his deep knowledge of Platonic and Greek thought. It is a must have for anyone interested in greek and Platonic philosophy.

Joy restored!
Format: Paperback
Now, to be honest, I've been a John & Stasi Eldredge reader for a long time. I love their books and their writing styles. But more than their skills with language is their transparency and candor. If you get the chance to meet them, you'll see that who they are in person is just how they portray themselves in their books. They're honest. They're kind--both with themselves and with others and they're consistently dedicated to telling the truth--no hype. No bait and switch.
Now, to Defiant Joy. This is a book for those who have lost joy. This is a book for those who have been blinded to the subtle creep of disappointment and cynicism that has tragically become the filter through which they see life. Let's be honest. Life can really suck sometimes. And it's both understandable and inevitable that joy is harder and harder to find...much less experience. Stasi has lived enough life to understand that condition. She shares her own struggles and disappointments--all of which give her credibility when she invites her readers to consider seeking joy in the midst of less than joyful circumstances.
"Defiant Joy" is a fitting title for those who don't want to give up yet; who don't want to give in to resignation. And that's the invitation Stasi gently offers--there is another option beside resignation, cynicism, depression and disillusionment. Joy! Who would have thought?
Stasi writes like she talks. Reading her work is like sitting down with a good friend for an honest and frank conversation about what really matters. She's the kind of friend we all long to have--one who tells us what we need to hear instead of what we want to hear; one who tells us the truth, even when we've lost hope of ever finding it. You won't find any relativism or warm-fuzzy self-talk. This is not a self-help book. Stasi has suffered too much to offer simplistic answers to some of the most difficult questions.
I highly recommend this book. It's on my suggested reading list for the community I lead. Stasi is one battle-experienced traveler who's offering other weary travelers hope for the journey ahead. I'll bet money you'll discover joy again.
