Bag om Frangipani's Ring
Frangipani's Ring is a memoir written by the German art historian and museum director, Henry Thode. The book recounts a significant event in Thode's life that occurred in 1897 when he was visiting Florence, Italy. While there, Thode came across a small antique shop and was immediately drawn to a beautiful ring made of frangipani flowers. Despite its high price, Thode felt compelled to purchase the ring and was convinced it held some sort of mystical power.As Thode wore the ring, he began to experience a series of strange and vivid dreams that took him on a journey through time and space. In these dreams, Thode encountered various historical figures, including Dante Alighieri, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci, and witnessed important events in their lives. Through these dreams, Thode gained a deeper understanding of art and history, as well as his own place in the world.Frangipani's Ring is a fascinating and thought-provoking book that explores themes of art, history, spirituality, and the power of the human imagination.
