自十八世紀末開始，歐洲颳起了一陣「浪漫主義」旋風，不滿於資本主義擴張、思想和才情長期受到壓抑等原因，促使英國誕生了一批擅以優美文筆表達理想訴求的作家。其中尤以拜倫最為著名，甚至成為一種文化現象，而他充滿異域情調的風格，更將浪漫文學推向高峰！▎我願做無憂無慮的小孩（I Would I Were A Careless Child）――有感現實的艱難險惡，在精神世界裡舒展自由羽翼讓我回到蒼涼，但卻壯美的吾鄉，傾聽海浪與岩石的交接；凝視我幼時熟悉的風光，我只求看到，我熟悉的地方。年少時的我，也有過夢境構築的輝光。那是一個幻覺，但是極樂之鄉。（可鄙的）現實，我不屑於你美麗的光，（請不要）把我引向世俗世界的泥漿。我已然明白，這不是，為我而設的世界。▎雅典少女（Maid of Athens）――詩人和少女的邂逅，濃烈文字盡顯愛戀之狂野妳是我靈魂的甘泉，吾之所愛！雅典的少女，請將妳的心給我。雖然我們即將各奔前程，但我心中的愛永存。在臨別時傾訴我的愛意：妳是我靈魂的甘泉，吾之所愛！憑風掀起我的捲髮；此際，愛琴海的風撫摸著它。憑我玳瑁邊框眼鏡後的眼眸。親吻妳絕世容顏。憑我狂跳的心臟！向鹿般潔淨的眼眸發誓：吾之所愛，妳是我靈魂的甘泉。▎唐璜（Don Juan）――與「她們」的愛恨糾葛，大膽諷刺時下英國社會愛情開始的時候總是謹慎，後來卻燃成烈火。茱莉亞的鬈髮一束束散開，像五月的丁香，唐璜撫摸著她的頭髮，如同拂過花瓣，香氣四溢。茱莉亞想拒絕，卻又忍不住接受。她的內心做著強烈的搏鬥。然而，愛情的酒太過濃烈，他們的手最終纏繞在一起。溫柔的手並無凶險，然而愛情結的果，也許致命。如果人們能夠未卜先知，也許會拒絕這愛情。唐璜用他年輕的嘴唇親吻她，愉悅而充滿羞怯。茱莉亞的臉上飛起了緋紅的雲，想躲開但又不捨。狂喜的淚水從唐璜的眼裡湧出，哦！墜入愛河的孩子，誰能陷入情網同時又保持清醒？茱莉亞懷著理智想拒絕，但最終還是接受。〔本書特色〕本書為英國著名詩人拜倫的作品精選，包括最廣為人知的長篇敘事詩《唐璜》，裡頭借用了西班牙「情聖」唐璜的傳說――一生周旋於無數貴族婦女的浪蕩青年；而在拜倫的版本中，唐璜一次次的墜入情網，其豐富的情感經歷多源於不幸的遭遇。透過閱讀本書，讀者能夠更加了解浪漫文學的風格，並與作者熱血澎湃的一生做聯想。

19世紀新古典主義著名畫家安格爾 他筆下的人物擁有岩石般清晰的輪廓，卻又如綢緞般柔和； 他使用最樸素的色彩，仍讓畫面擁有最深遠的意蘊。 他的畫如同雄偉的建築，在大地上穩穩地屹立不倒。 身處法國最動盪的時期，歷經法國大革命到二月革命，政體如跑馬燈更迭交替，藝術領域亦同，浪漫主義、現實主義、色彩主義群起並立，安格爾成為其中的清流，與之抗衡只為追求古典主義，復刻文藝復興。 「世界上只有一種藝術，那就是永恆的美與自然。純潔和自然的美不需要別出心裁，只要是美的，就足夠了。自然之美是永恆的，偉大的、美的創作是不朽的，任何與之背道而馳的人注定將以失敗告終。」──安格爾（Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres） ▎路易十三的宣誓（Louis XIII de la prestation de serment） 聖母懷抱聖子，神情安詳地坐在雲端，注視著座下跪拜的路易十三；路易十三面向舉著誓言的兩位小天使，高高舉起皇冠和權杖，將法蘭西王國託付給聖母。 畫面堆砌了大量文藝復興時期的繪畫元素，採用了傳統的學院派畫法，不再使用以前誇張、變形的表達方式，他著意刻劃聖母的形象，在其中融入了自己獨到的表現，這幅畫使安格爾重獲主流認可，被譽為「拉斐爾再世」。 ▎〈荷馬禮贊〉（Apotheosis of Homer） 勝利女神將象徵榮譽的桂冠戴在了詩人荷馬的頭上，身邊簇擁著一群非凡的天才，將荷馬視為藝術的根源，以崇敬的心情藉此作品展現對畫中人物對時代的貢獻。 此畫作為宏大的天頂畫，重現〈雅典學院〉（The School of Athens）的布局 致敬他的偶像拉斐爾，藉荷馬的形象將拉斐爾推至藝術史上更為崇高的地位。 ▎〈大宮女〉（La Grand Odalisque） 全裸的大宮女柔若無骨的斜靠在橫貫畫面的天鵝絨椅墊上，在華麗帷幕的襯托下一切是如此的典雅迷人，呈現強烈的東方情調的土耳其內宮生活，為了強調身軀的優美曲線，畫出了多餘的三節脊椎，不合乎常理卻也不突兀，形成流暢的整體美感。 拉斐爾說：「繪畫需要撇開絕對的準確性，藝術的生動就無從談起。似是而非等同於虛偽！追求準確的表現和完美的風格，不要惋惜為此付出的時間和精力。」 他擅長人體素描，卻不在意肌肉解剖知識。過分強調真實會使藝術形象庸俗化，有損於素描的純潔，誇張的表現則是為了強調「美」。 ▎〈洛哲營救安吉莉卡〉（Angelica s
