Book excerpt: Poet Gary Lawless takes us on a journey to discover the answers to the question of how the stones came to Venice, and in the process creates a work that is marvelous, lucid and stunningly new. How the Stones Came to Venice draws on history, philosophy, mineralogy, alchemy, and hagiography to tell the story of stone. In the process Lawless offers us a treasure trove of other stories, of anarchists, stonemasons and saints; he offers prayers and meditations on man's stewardship of the earth; he shares the story of his own journey from the quarries of Prospect, Maine, to the stone streets and churches of Venice, the islands of Greece, the mountains of Turkey and the forests of Lithuania, to return at last to the stones and waters of Maine, his home state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stones of Venice, Vol. 1 A Good many years ago now, wandering about Italy, I found myself, almost by accident, in Venice. My intention was to stay a week only, but it happened that during that time I somehow found out my way to a public library, which was situated in an old palace on one of the back canals near S. Maria Formosa, and here, among the few English books, I discovered, and for the first time made acquaintance with, Ruskin's "Stones of Venice." The book engrossed me immediately. Every night until the closing of the library I sat up filling notebooks with definitions and descriptions, or with diagrams of arches and capitals, and all day I rowed from church to church and palace to palace, comparing, examining, and from time to time adding certain profound reflections of my own to the ideas with which Ruskin had supplied me. The immediate result of all this was that from a week my stay lengthened to three months, but the more important one was that, in this way, through the instrumentality of this book, there was unlocked for me a source of interest which grew into one of the most engrossing occupations and studies of my life, an incentive to many journeys and a chief clue and help to the understanding of history. And although by and by many of Ruskin's judgements came to me to seem untenable, and I let them go, yet this in no way affected or lessened the interest which he had revealed in the subject, and which continued steadily to grow and increase. My reason for recalling this personal incident here is that it seems to me a good illustration of Ruskin's general influence. Most people have felt the attraction of that peculiar and vital fascination with which he invested the study of art, and most people, too, have learnt ultimately to question pretty freely his decisions and judgements, and to doubt whether his enthusiastic and emotional manner of adopting theories that were pleasing to him was calculated to stand the test of disinterested examination.

Download or read book Ruskin's Venice written by Sarah Quill and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This title was first published in 2000: John Ruskin's three-volume "The Stones of Venice" (1851-3) remains massively influential in art and architecture. To mark the centenary of Ruskin's death, this illustrated guide links Ruskin's descriptions of individual buildings with a photograph of the architecture and sculpture as it is today. Much of Ruskin's prose is reproduced, together with many of his drawings and watercolours and a number of 19th-century engravings. Sarah Quill's photographs identify the details described by Ruskin and show the extent to which the city's architecture has survived, or changed, since first publication of "The Stones of Venice". The opening chapter provides an introduction to Ruskin's involvment with Venice and to the periods and styles of Venetian architecture."--Provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stones of Venice, Vol. 2: Introductory Chapters and Local Indices (Printed Separately) For the Use of Travellers While Staying in Venice and Verona The reason of this is, that the finial is properly the orna ment of gabled architecture; it is the compliance, in the 'or features of the building, with the spirit of its towers, ridged roof, and spires. Venetian building is not gabled, but horizontal in its roots and general masses; therefore the finial is a feature contradictory to its spirit, and adopted only in that search for morbid excitement which is the infallible indication of decline. When it occurs earlier, it is on fragments of true gabled architecture, as, for instance, on the porch of the Carmini.

Book Synopsis The Stones of Venice,Volume III the Fall by : John Ruskin
Download or read book The Stones of Venice,Volume III the Fall written by John Ruskin and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "More than simply a survey of an ancient city's most significant buildings, The Stones of Venice first published in three volumes between 1851 and 1853 is an expression of a philosophy of art, nature, and morality that goes beyond art history, and has inspired such thinkers as Leo Tolstoy, Marcel Proust, and Mahatma Gandhi. Volume III, which looks at Venetian buildings of the Early, Roman, and grotesque Renaissance, provides an analysis of the transitional forms of Arabian and Byzantine architecture while tracing the city s spiritual and architectural decline. Unabridged, and containing Ruskin s original drawings, this guide to the moral, spiritual, and aesthetic implications of architecture is a treasure for students and scholars alike. The preeminent art critic of his time, British writer JOHN RUSKIN (1819 1900) had a profound influence upon European painting, architecture, and aesthetics of the 19th and 20th centuries. His immense body of literary works include Modern Painters, Volume I IV (1843 1856); The Seven Lamps of Architecture (1849); Unto This Last (1862); Munera Pulveris (1862 3); The Crown of Wild Olive (1866); Time and Tide (1867); and Fors Clavigera (1871-84)."
