John Ryskin (1819–1900) is the famous English historian and art theorist, poet, publicist, author of ethics, aesthetics and natural science, social reformer. In his universal system, art and architecture exist in close connection with morality, religion, human life and, ultimately, nature, and the industrial revolution and capitalization of society are equally destructive to the environment, human souls and the process of creativity.
The monumental treatise Stones of Venice was published by John Ruskin in 1851–1853, appearing the logical continuation of his famous essay Seven Lights of Architecture. On the fertile material of the monuments of Venice, the author, with his inherent enthusiasm, explores and analyzes the architectural heritage of different eras - from the treasures of the Byzantine heritage to the creations of architects of the Renaissance, peering at the details of the facades and reasoning about large -scale historical processes.
The grand volume of the treatise caused that after the first, three -volume publication was published, it was repeatedly published in various abbreviated versions. In Russian, the treatise Stone of Venice is also published in an abbreviated translation
