Beskrivelse af The Story of Venus and Tannhauser
The Story of Venus and Tannhauser is a book written and illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley. It is a retelling of the medieval German legend of Tannhauser, a knight who falls in love with the goddess Venus and lives with her in her underground palace for a year before returning to the mortal world. The book is divided into two parts: the first part tells the story of Tannhauser's time with Venus and his eventual departure, while the second part deals with his return to the mortal world and his struggle to find redemption for his sins.Beardsley's illustrations are a key feature of the book, with each page featuring intricate black and white drawings that capture the sensuality and decadence of the story. The book was originally published in 1907, and its themes of sexuality and sin caused controversy at the time. However, it has since become recognized as a classic of Art Nouveau illustration and an important work in the history of book design.1927. A romantic novel in which is set forth an exact account of the manner of State held by Madam Venus, Goddess and Meretrix, under the famous Horselberg, and containing the Adventures of Tannhauser in that Palace, his repentance, his journeying to Rome and return to the Loving Mountain. Aubrey Beardsley was one of the most controversial artists of the Art Nouveau era, renowned for his dark and perverse images and the grotesque erotic themes which he explored in his later work. His eroticism is manifest, and must be accepted as simply as the fact that he had auburn hair and long hands.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
