On The Nature Of Gothic Architecture

Více o knize

Focusing on Gothic architecture, John Ruskin presents it as a profound way of thinking rather than merely a stylistic choice. He emphasizes the organic unity of these structures and their intrinsic connection to nature. Additionally, Ruskin champions the workman as an essential artist, advocating for the appreciation of craftsmanship and beauty in their creations. The book is richly illustrated, serving as an important resource for those interested in art history and architecture, while also being a facsimile reprint of the original 1854 work.
