Download or read book Ruskin s Landscape of Beatitude written by David Anthony Downes and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1984 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This analysis of Ruskin as a critic of art, architecture, economics and literature offers a comprehensive overview for the understanding of a major and prophetic Victorian figure. It augments existing readings of Ruskin's work and contains insights into Victorian culture, art criticism, the theory of criticism, and economic history. The author places Ruskin's work in the context of his life and relates it to current critical perspective as well. He discusses Modern Painters, The Seven Lamps of Architecture, and The Stones of Venice, demonstrating how Ruskin established an esthetic standard for religious art to produce the kind of Christian humanistic culture he desired. Examination of Unto This Last focuses on Ruskin's view of capitalism while comments on other works provide background on his literary and social criticism. The basic theme of the book underlines Ruskin's under- standing of the relationship between esthetic and ethical forces in civilization.

Download or read book John Ruskin the Pre Raphaelites and Religious Imagination written by Sheona Beaumont and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-26 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a collection of essays by leading experts which examine nineteenth century ideas about Christian theology, art, architecture, restoration, and curatorial practice. The volume unveils the importance of John Ruskin’s writing for today’s audience, and allies it with the dynamism of the Pre-Raphaelite religious imagination. Ruskin’s drawings and daguerreotypes, as well as Pre-Raphaelite paintings, stained glass, and engravings, are shown to be alive with visual theology: artists such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais, Edward Burne-Jones, and Evelyn de Morgan illuminate aspects of faith and aesthetics. The interdisciplinary nature of this volume encourages reflection upon praise, truth, and beauty. The aesthetic conversations between Ruskin and the Pre-Raphaelites themselves become a form of ‘sacra conversazione’.

Download or read book John Ruskin written by Andrew Ballantyne and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Ruskin (1819–1900) was the most prominent art and architecture critic of his time. Yet his reputation has been overshadowed by his personal life, especially his failed marriage to Effie Gray, which has cast him in the history books as little more than a Victorian prude. In this book, Andrew Ballantyne rescues Ruskin from the dustbin of history’s trifles to reveal a deeply attuned thinker, one whose copious writings had tremendous influence on all classes of society, from roadmenders to royalty. Ballantyne examines a crucial aspect of Ruskin’s thinking: the notion that art and architecture have moral value. Telling the story of Ruskin’s childhood and enduring devotion to his parents—who fostered his career as a writer on art and architecture—he explores the circumstances that led to Ruskin’s greatest works, such as Modern Painters, The Seven Lamps of Architecture, The Stones of Venice, and Unto This Last. He follows Ruskin through his altruistic ventures with the urban poor, to whom he taught drawing, motivated by a profound conviction that art held the key to living a worthwhile life. Ultimately, Ballantyne weaves Ruskin’s story into a larger one about Victorian society, a time when the first great industrial cities took shape and when art could finally reach beyond the wealthy elite and touch the lives of everyday people.
