description: Painted Shadows is a novel by Richard Le Gallienne, originally published in 1907. The book is set in the late 19th century and follows the life of a young painter named Arnold Beverley. Arnold is a talented artist, but he is also a sensitive and introspective young man who struggles with his own identity and his place in the world. The novel explores themes of love, passion, and creativity, as Arnold falls in love with two very different the beautiful and free-spirited Nellie March and the more reserved and intellectual Edith Despard. As Arnold navigates his relationships with these two women, he also grapples with his own artistic ambitions and the pressures of society to conform to certain expectations.Throughout the book, Le Gallienne's prose is rich and poetic, evoking the lush landscapes of the English countryside and the vibrant bohemian culture of London's art scene. He also delves deeply into the psychology of his characters, exploring their innermost thoughts and emotions with a keen eye for detail.Overall, Painted Shadows is a beautifully written and deeply moving novel that offers a compelling portrait of a young artist's journey towards self-discovery and creative fulfillment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
