Trilby Musaicum Rediscovered Classics PDF Download

Excerpt from Trilby, Vol. 1 of 3 A trapeze, a knotted rope, and two parallel cords, supporting each a ring, depended from a huge beam in the ceiling. The walls were of the usual dull red, relieved by plaster casts of arms and legs and hands and feet; and Dante's mask, and Michael Angelo's altorilievo of Leda and the swan, and a centaur and Lapith from the Elgin Marbles - on none of these had the dust as yet had time to settle. There were also studies in oil from the nude; copies of Titian, Rembrandt, Velasquez, Rubens, Tintoret, Leonardo da Vinci - none of the school of Botticelli, Mantegna, and Co. - a firm whose merits had not as yet been revealed to the many.
