The Majesty of the Horse is a celebration of an animal that has shaped the fate of mankind.

A celebration of the Impressionists artists, including Monet, Renoir and Pissarro, whose paintings are inextricably linked to the birth of modern art. Today, our passion for these artists remains, and their paintings are amongst the best-loved works in the history of art.By choosing to paint extraordinary pictures of modernity that shocked the bourgeois elite, the Impressionists challenged the academic ideals of the French Salons, rejected the past and embracing colour to portray a sense of joie de vivre. Their revolutionary use of colour, free brushstrokes and modern subject matter, painted en plain air gave rise to one of the most important and influential art movements of the nineteenth century.Featuring many of the most famous and important pieces by the groups’ key figures, this beautifully illustrated reference book also includes a collection of less well-known but equally important works to show the diversity of this exceptional movement.

Geliebte Samtpfoten Sie ist hierzulande das beliebteste Haustier: die Katze. Fast 15 Millionen schnurrende Vierbeiner leben allein in deutschen Haushalten – von der Europäisch-Kurzhaar ohne Stammbaum bis zur edlen Rassekatze. Wie die Geschichte zwischen Zwei- und Vierbeinern begann und zu welch schönen, eleganten und geheimnisvollen Rassen diese jahrtausendelange Beziehung geführt hat, schildert Tamsin Pickeral in diesem opulent gestalteten Bildband. Mit kleinen Anekdoten und sehr persönlichen Geschichten erzählt die Autorin liebevoll und kenntnisreich, wie sich die Katze als Nutztier und Gefährtin ins Herz der Menschen schlich – von der Antike bis heute. Von den vielen verschiedenen Rassen, die sich seitdem herausgebildet haben oder gezüchtet wurden, stellt die Autorin die schönsten vor: darunter alte Rassen wie die edle Siam, heute hierzulande weit verbreitete Züchtungen wie die große, langhaarige Maine Coon, aber auch seltene Vertreter wie die lockige Selkirk Rex oder die haarlose Don Sphynx. Die große Fülle an Informationen wird ergänzt durch die bestechend schönen Porträts, die Fotografin Astrid Harrisson für dieses Buch aufnahm. Sie fangen das Wesen der Katzen ästhetisch und stilvoll ein – mal verspielt und frech, mal majestätisch, aber stets unabhängig und intelligent. Ein Bildband der Extraklasse! „Jedes Katzentier ist ein Meisterstück der Natur.“ Leonardo da Vinci
