Reproductie Portret van Nicola Matteis C1640–1714 - Sir Godfrey Kneller – Boeiende introductie Het portret van Nicola Matteis, gemaakt door Sir Godfrey Kneller, is een iconisch werk uit het begin van de 18e eeuw dat de elegantie en verfijning van de Britse kunst uit die periode belichaamt. Dit schilderij, dat de beroemde violist en componist voorstelt, getuigt niet alleen van het talent van de kunstenaar, maar ook van het belang van muziek in de samenleving van die tijd. Via deze kunstdruk weerspiegelt het werk een tijdperk waarin muziek en beeldende kunst verweven waren, wat leidde tot een rijke en boeiende dialoog. De zelfverzekerde houding van Matteis, evenals de keuze van kleuren en texturen, boeien de kijker en nodigen uit om onder te dompelen in de wereld van de barokke kunst. Stijl en uniekheid van het werk Het werk van Kneller onderscheidt zich door zijn karakteristieke stijl, die realisme en idealisering combineert. In het portret van Nicola Matteis gebruikt de schilder een palet van warme en heldere kleuren die de levendigheid van het personage versterken. Het licht, vakkundig georkestreerd, benadrukt de details van het kostuum en het expressieve gezicht van de musicus, en onthult zijn charismatische persoonlijkheid. Kneller beheerst ook de kunst van de plooival, waardoor de stoffen bijna tastbaar worden, wat het geheel een tactiele dimensie geeft. De compositie, evenwichtig en harmonieus, getuigt van een onmiskenbare technische beheersing, terwijl het een intieme band tussen het onderwerp en de kijker suggereert. Dit portret is zo een viering van het individu, maar ook een reflectie van de esthetische waarden van zijn tijd. De kunstenaar en zijn invloed Sir Godfrey Kneller, geboren in Duitsland en genaturaliseerd tot Brits onderdaan, is een van de meest invloedrijke portretschilders van zijn tijd. Zijn innovatieve aanpak en zijn scherpzinnige gevoel voor compositie hebben hem geholpen naam te maken in de kunstwereld. Kneller wist de geest van zijn tijd vast te leggen en positioneerde zich als de officiële schilder van het Engelse hof. Zijn portretten beperken zich niet tot het afbeelden van historische figuren of aristocraten; ze vertellen verhalen, roepen emoties op en onthullen persoonlijkheden. De kunstenaar heeft ook vele tijdgenoten en opvolgers beïnvloed, en stelde een kwaliteitsstandaard vastShipping Notes

Angels and the Fallen — Breathtaking Start
Format: Kindle
This book was EVERYTHING I expected it to be and more. Leave to R.L. Caulder and M. Sinclair to give us yet another amazing book!
Kieran and her guys hooked me from the very beginning and did not let go. Found family is one of my favorite tropes and it was done so well in this book. Couple that along with an FMC trying to find her place in the world and I was practically drooling over this book. The world building, the conflict, the wyverin sidekick — it all was done so well that it felt fresh and real.
Each love interest felt real and unique in their own ways. I felt connected to each one and like they were truly different people. I love that so much in a book and these two authors never miss with their love interests.
Multi POV, Reverse harem, who did this to you, and a magical world highlighting the angels and the fallen. This book has everything and it does it so well.
Big thank you to R.L. Caulder and M. Sinclair for the arc copy! I cannot wait for book 2!

A new take 🤔
Format: Kindle
I’m not going to go into what this book is about — by now you e already read the synopsis and have an idea — but I will give a couple of insights.
Definitely a different take on angels and their fall; I like it. This is an interesting start to a new series - YES, this does end on a cliffhanger so be prepared for that. I’m eager for the next book (and hopefully the last in this series — sometimes the author(s) will switch it up depending on how the story flows for them) in this series.
I’m hoping that a certain male character redeems himself because he’s a dick that will make the meaning of mixed signals jealous lol.
You ever watch that old movie — I think it’s call Mommy Dearest? — yea, let’s switch that up to daddy. That man would make a perfect husband to mommy dearest.
I recommend this book because while these authors are well known for their cliffhangers, they are also well known for putting out good stories.

Liked it
Format: Kindle
I liked the worlds and the characters. The prophesy is confusing in that I would think, since all worlds ore on a path to destruction, the angels would want their world to be saved. I am sure there is more evil that will be revealed as the series proceeds. I dislike a prolonged “poor little me” trope and the main character has moved past that, thankfully, and began to show a fierce attitude as the novel progressed. The last portion of the novel had some great action. It’s worth reading, just be patient with a slow start.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series.
Favorite quotes:
"The truth may be twisted but never false."
"Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?"
"In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."
