The Stones of Venice, Volume 2 (of 3), by John Ruskin
"The Stones of Venice, Volume 2 (of 3)" by John Ruskin is a treatise published in 1853. This volume examines Venetian architecture across Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance periods, detailing over eighty churches while providing cultural history. In the famous chapter "The Nature of Gothic," Ruskin interweaves architectural analysis with social commentary, arguing that workers and thinkers should unite rather than remain divided. The work profoundly influenced Gothic Revival architecture and thinkers like
William Morris and Marcel Proust. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
