limner (lĭm`nər), the work of untrained, generally anonymous artists active in the English American colonies. Characteristic examples of their paintings show flat, awkward, often frontal figures in richly detailed costumes and landscape settings copied from European prints. The limner tradition extended well into the 19th cent. |

``It felt great, and it wasn't too difficult,'' says Amy Sedaris, Jerri's co-creator and portrayer for two years on the Comedy Central series that ran from 1999 to 2001. portrayer Larry Hagman has appeared in Romania frequently as a Stetson-wearing pitchman for the Russian petroleum company Lukoil ("The Choice of a True Texan"). While marginalizing events and personages (except for Philip II and the Battle of Lepanto), Braudel manages to dramatize the countryside, the conditions of travel, and even his sources, which he celebrates, in the last sentence of the book, as "the most concrete, the most ordinary, the most indestructible, the most anonymously human"--all of which remain implicitly under the sovereign gaze of this scientific and yet passionate observer, virtuoso portrayer, and global academic empire-builder. |
