Les adieux d'Alcyone à son mari d'après Les Métamorphoses d'Ovide chant XI : une mélancolie poignante Dans "Les adieux d'Alcyone à son mari d'après Les Métamorphoses d'Ovide chant XI", Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg vangt een moment van diepe droefheid en scheiding. De compositie benadrukt Alcyone, wiens uitdrukking een intense pijn verraadt, terwijl haar echtgenoot, Ceyx, afdaalt naar het onbekende. De zachte kleuren en delicate nuances creëren een sfeer doordrenkt met melancholie, terwijl de olieverftechniek de fijnheid van de details en de diepte van de emoties benadrukt. Dit werk, geïnspireerd door het mythologische verhaal, roept universele thema's op van liefde, verlies en hoop. Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg: de vader van de Deense romantiek Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, vaak beschouwd als de vader van de Deense romantiek, markeerde de 19e eeuw met zijn werken die realisme en gevoeligheid combineren. Opgeleid aan de Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten in Kopenhagen, werd hij beïnvloed door de grote Europese meesters, vooral die van de neoclassicistische schilderkunst. Zijn vermogen om menselijke emoties met zo'n intensiteit weer te geven, maakt hem tot een onmisbare kunstenaar van zijn tijd. "Les adieux d'Alcyone" getuigt van zijn talent om mythologische verhalen om te zetten in aangrijpende reflecties op de menselijke conditie, terwijl hij elementen van de natuur en het landschap integreert. Een decoratief kunstdruk met vele troeven De kunstdruk van "Les adieux d'Alcyone à son mari" is een perfecte keuze om je leefruimte te verfraaien, of het nu een woonkamer, kantoor of slaapkamer is.

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.
