About the book

Ovid's Metamorphoses is one of the great works of classical literature, presenting a vast sequence of mythological stories linked by the theme of transformation. Gods and mortals are repeatedly changed into animals, plants, stars and other forms as Ovid retells stories of love, punishment, ambition and loss. The work has had an enormous influence on European literature and art, preserving many of the best-known myths of the ancient world. Painter of Passion: The Journal of Eugène Delacroix Painter of Passion presents the journals of Eugène Delacroix, one of the leading figures of French Romantic painting. His writings reveal his thoughts on art, literature, politics, music and the practical challenges of being an artist. Combined with reflections on his own work and the cultural life around him, the journal offers a fascinating insight into the personality and creative process of one of the nineteenth century's most important painters.
