"On Zeus'' order, Prometheus was chained to Mount Caucasus where, every day, he was to endure his liver being devoured by a bird of prey - his punishment for bringing fire to mankind. Through the impulse of Goethe, his fortune went through radical changes: the Titan, originally perceived as a trickster, was established both as a creator and a rebel freed from guilt, and he became a mask for the Romantic artist. This cross-disciplinary study, encompassing literature, the history of art, and music, examines the constitution of the Prometheus myth and the revolution it underwent in 19th-century Europe. It leads to the Symbolist period - which witnessed the coronation of the Titan as a prism for the total work of art - and aims to re-establish the importance of Prometheus amongst other major Symbolist figures such as Orpheus."

Aubrey Beardsley (1872–1898) is best remembered for his powerful illustrations for Salome by Oscar Wilde. Spanning just seven years, his intense, prolific career as a draughtsman and illustrator was cut short when he died at the age of 25. His subversive black-and-white drawings and his complex persona became synonymous with decadence: he alighted on the perverse and erotic aspects of life and legend, shocking audiences with his bizarre sense of humour and fascination with the grotesque. His keen observation of his contemporaries makes him of his time, but his distinct style has resonated with subsequent generations. A major influence on the development of art nouveau, and on psychedelic pop culture and design in the late 1960s, Beardsley's drawings remain a key reference for many artists today. Here, insightful essays on aspects of Beardsley's remarkable career complement exquisite reproductions of his fascinating work.

Claude Monet (1840–1926) transformed the story of art in the nineteenth century. Breaking with the established taste and traditions of the academy, he instead chose to focus on perception and the fugitive effects of atmosphere and light, and on subjects of modern everyday life. His artistic path took him from the spontaneous record of impressions to his ambitious series on the monumental Waterlilies.This introduction explores the memorable life and work of Monet. Following his journey from the beaches of Normandy and the banks of the River Thames in London to his iconic water garden in Giverny, it charts his stylistic development through his lifelong pursuit to capture the play of light, colour and time on canvas. This book is a reflection of an artist defined by his personal resilience and artistic daring, whose acute awareness of atmosphere and movement paved the way for the evolution of modern art and left a lasting impression that has endured into the twenty-first century.
