The Queen of the Air

Restored Classics to Go Edition

by John Ruskin ...

In The Queen of the Air, Ruskin turns Greek myth into a vivid study of nature, faith, and the human mind, centering above all on Athena as goddess of cloud, storm, air, and wisdom. He begins with a lament for the modern ruin of the landscape he loves—polluted skies, darkened light, melting glaciers, and fouled waters in the Alps—then argues that ancient myth and modern science alike reveal the ...

Modern Painters (Complete)

by John Ruskin ...

The work now laid before the public originated in indignation at the shallow and false criticism of the periodicals of the day on the works of the great living artist to whom it principally refers. It was intended to be a short pamphlet, reprobating the matter and style of those critiques, and pointing out their perilous tendency, as guides of public feeling. But, as point after point presented ... Read more

Restored Classics to Go Edition

by John Ruskin ...

John Ruskin turns a violet into a test of how we see nature, and how language either clarifies or distorts it. With wit, impatience, and close attention, he challenges dry botanical classification, arguing that flowers must be understood by their beauty, habit, and place in the landscape, not by jargon or microscopic curiosity. From the violet's bank-loving form and changing purple glow, he moves ... Read more

Stones of Venice

by John Ruskin ...

Since the first dominion of men was asserted over the ocean, three thrones, of mark beyond all others, have been set upon its sands: the thrones of Tyre, Venice, and England. Of the First of these great powers only the memory remains; of the Second, the ruin; the Third, which inherits their greatness, if it forget their example, may be led through prouder eminence to less pitied destruction.

The Elements of Drawing

by John Ruskin ...

It may perhaps be thought, that in prefacing a manual of drawing, I ought to expatiate on the reasons why drawing should be learned; but those reasons appear to me so many and so weighty, that I cannot quickly state or enforce them. With the reader's permission, as this volume is too large already, I will waive all discussion respecting the importance of the subject, and touch only on those points ... Read more

Mornings in Florence

by John Ruskin ...

If there is one artist, more than another, whose work it is desirable that you should examine in Florence, supposing that you care for old art at all, it is Giotto. You can, indeed, also see work of his at Assisi; but it is not likely you will stop there, to any purpose. At Padua there is much; but only of one period. At Florence, which is his birthplace, you can see pictures by him of every date, ... Read more
