But from the recurrent geometrical themes Blake has discerned in the paintings, he reaches quite different conclusions from those grasped at by other researchers. For instance, by overlaying the grids found in key paintings of both Poussin and Leonardo on maps of the Langeudoc, he has pinpointed a never-before-discovered hill tomb.

Through following the trail by which he found it we unravel a rich cloth of learning and religion spun in secrecy over the centuries, and uncover the true identity of a host of remarkable historical characters, all party to the secret of the ciphers - from popes and painters to the real Man in the Iron Mask.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/peter-blake-books\"\u003ePeter Blake\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sidgwick \u0026amp; Jackson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780283072888\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sidgwick \u0026 Jackson","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.00","offer_id":47909929844913,"sku":"SB-0283072881-C3","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0283072881.jpg?v=1789174091"},{"product_id":"peter-blake-a-museum-for-myself","title":"Peter Blake: A Museum for Myself","description":"\u003cp\u003eSir Peter Blake is one the country's most enduringly popular and important living artists and he has collected since childhood.

His Venice Fantasies, made in his mid-seventies with the same lightness of touch and fresh eye that has distinguished all his work, are marked by his characteristic wry humor and unerring sense of the absurd. Fifty years after his first trip to the most magical of Italian cities, he made his first return visit in 2007, just as he was embarking on this series of affectionate and often frankly preposterous tributes to the city as reconfigured in his imagination. Taking as his cue the Surrealist collages of Max Ernst and others, he engages in the same sort of time travel and unlikely alliances that marked his celebrated cover design for the Beatles LP Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Each of the 21 images takes as its starting-point a photographic view of Venice from the early 1900s, part of a concertina set of tourist postcards, but then subverts it to consistently surprising ends. The city is invaded by penguins and engulfed in icebergs, used as a stage set by dance companies and as a camp site by scout troops, its tranquillity shattered by plane crashes, madly overcrowded regattas, fishermen, motorboat racers and \"magic crowds.\" On the Piazza San Marco, citizens from ancient times rub shoulders at a café with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, quintessential American tourists happily consuming their own picnic. Teeming with detail, these humorous and highly entertaining pictures show Blake at his imaginative best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/peter-blake-books\"\u003ePeter Blake\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enitharmon Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781904634928\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Enitharmon Editions","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £21.23","offer_id":47918891827377,"sku":"SB-1904634923-C4","price":21.23,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1904634923.jpg?v=1789720625"},{"product_id":"paris-escapades","title":"Paris Escapades","description":"\u003cp\u003eParis Escapades is a book of Paris collages by Sir Peter Blake.
