La Bible d'Amiens by John Ruskin
"La Bible d'Amiens" by John Ruskin is a work of art criticism published in 1884. This book examines the Gothic cathedral of Amiens through its architecture, sculptures, and religious iconography. Ruskin traces the history of Christianity in France, from Saint Firmin's evangelization to the cathedral's thirteenth-century construction. He provides detailed analysis of the western façade's biblical statuary, exploring how prophets, apostles, and the Virgin Mary are depicted. Marcel Proust translated this work
into French in 1904, adding extensive notes and a lengthy preface. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
