Die vormals dem Markgrafentum Meiszlig;en unterstellte Oberlausitz kam 1158 als Reichslehen zu Bouml;hmen. Erstmals urkundlich erwauml;hnt wird die Stadt Zittau in einer Urkunde des Klosters St. Marienthal bereits 1238; als sich dort der bouml;hmische Adlige lsquo;Czastolaw de Zittaviarsquo; aus der burggrauml;flichen Familie derer von lsquo;Liparsquo; aufhielt.

BBs Artful OrchestraBy Christian SchlectA smooth; intelligent; and sympathetic study of an interesting man of the high world of art. To fund his preferred style of life; Bernard Berenson came to know the wealthy of America and then catered to their insatiable need to acquire great European paintings.Professor Cohens condensed book is of the type that will ignite the desire for further reading on the multitude of characters that touched on; or were central to; the life of her subject:a poor Jewish boy from Boston who studied at Harvard; then who; after relocating to Italy; became a famed international expert on paintings from the Renaissance and a cultural sage.Above all he was a connoisseur. Over the course of a long life and against a backdrop of worry;he enjoyed beautiful vistas; fine art; friends (many of whom were women and beyond mere friends); intelligent conversations; writing; and libraries.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. He wasnt a nice man--he was given to fits of rage when unhappy ...By Philip BrantinghamThe figure of Bernard Berenson seems something out of another world--an art expert; an authenticator of Italian Renaissance art; an author; and a famous host to the elite at his estate north of Florence; Italy; He was a genius of sorts. He wrote several pioneeirng books on Italian art of the Renaissance; books that made him world famous. Rachel Cohens short biography of him; subtitled; "A Life in the Picture Trade" serves very well as the shortest and most judicious life that has been published so far. (For a much longer bio see Ernest Samuels "Bernard Berenson." in 2 Vols.) Well written and expert this book provides all the details that one needs to understand this famous expert; his foibles and fancies. He wasnt a nice man--he was given to fits of rage when unhappy and he treated his wife Mary badly. Yet he was a brilliant and sophisticated man; best illustrated in the two books of his diaries that were published in the 1950s. His estate I Tatti was a magnet to all the celebrities of the world; who sat gladly at his table and listened to his witticisms. One cant praise this book enough for its readability and its learning.
