It examines global urbanization trends, revealing how cities are expanding and the driving forces behind this expansion, such as population growth and economic development.

    Taking the reader from Victoria's wild shipwreck coast to the artists' studios of revolutionary Paris and the bloody battlefields of Flanders, this sweeping novel reimagines the volatile history of the beautiful and enigmatic young woman immortalised in one of Australia's most iconic paintings. Created in Paris in 1875, Chloé, Jules Lefebvre's depiction of a naked water nymph, was brought to Melbourne's Young & Jackson Hotel in 1909, where it has hung ever since. In this passionate, luminous retelling, Katrina Kell seeks to unlock the riddle behind the girl on the canvas, known to history only as Marie. In doing so, she weaves the compelling story of an incandescent spirit - a woman with the strength to defy the boundaries of class and convention in order to survive, and an enduring power to influence the lives of others across time and distance.

    This third volume of Élie Faure's History of Art is a masterful immersion into the essence of the Renaissance, that era of creative rebirth in which art transcends the Middle Ages to embrace individualism and humanism. Through vivid analysis of Italian centers such as Florence, Rome, and Venice, the author deciphers the aesthetic revolutions carried by giants like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Titian. He explores the evolution of painting, sculpture, and architecture, influenced by discoveries such as the printing press and intense philosophical debates. Faure brilliantly connects Italy with Northern Europe, analyzing Flemish, French, and German schools and their fruitful exchanges with the South. Contrasts between Gothic mysticism and Renaissance sensuality emerge, revealing an art in search of harmony between form, color, and spirit. Passionate and erudite, this volume inspires a desire to rediscover this abundant period, a bridge to modernity. Ideal for art and history enthusiasts, in reading or listening, it awakens the soul and imagination.
