The Stones of Venice
Book (italiano):
This is this publisher's second reprint of the 1960 edition of the 1853 landmark work on modern architecture by Ruskin (1819-1900). Links (d. 1997), an authority on the influential 19th century English art and architecture critic, abridges the original three- volume work. Retaining Ruskin's famous essay, "The Nature of Gothic," the editor includes his history of European architecture --focusing especially on his beloved Venice, and essays on the Byzantine and Renaissance periods. The book includes Ruskin's sketch of a Venetian palace. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
