Stones of Venice [introductions] by John Ruskin
"Stones of Venice [introductions]" by John Ruskin is a three-volume treatise published between 1851 and 1853. This detailed examination of Venetian architecture explores over eighty churches across Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance periods while weaving together art history and social philosophy. Ruskin argues that architecture reflects society's values, advocating for a world where thinkers work and workers think. His passionate defense of Gothic design profoundly influenced Victorian Britain and inspired figures from William
Morris to Marcel Proust. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
