<b>Featuring 300 exquisite paintings and engravings that reveal the mysterious beauty of 19th-century Dark Romanticism, Symbolism, and Pre-Raphaelitism this lavish volume highlights the era's fascination with the spiritual, the macabre, and the sublime.</b><br><br>Authored by Alix Paré, known for her acclaimed work on Gustave Doré, the book invites readers to experience the otherworldly imagination of celebrated and lesser-known artists who sought to capture the liminal spaces between reality and fantasy.

A glossary of forty terms further clarifies the arcane concepts and spiritual influences at play. The sumptuous package includes gold-embossed cover and spine, decorative belly band, and sprayed edges inscribed with the title. Ideal for art lovers, mystics, and anyone captivated by the uncanny, it offers an unprecedented journey into the sublime visions of the 19th century.<br><br>Ausstattung: Mit Folienprägung auf der Covervorderseite und Rücken; Banderole und Farbschnitt mit Buchtitel
