Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stones of Venice, Vol. 3: The Fall The reason of this is, that the finial is properly the orna ment of gabled architecture; it is the compliance, in the minor 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 frag ments of true gabled architecture, as, for instance, on the porch of the Carmini.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stones of Venice, Vol. 3: The Fall and Examples of the Architecture of Venice There are many rough sketches and pictorial memoranda of the tombs, but no finished drawings have been found. Perhaps before he had gone far in the work, Ruskin decided to discuss the tombs in the more general manner adopted in the text and the labour and expense of so many illustrations may also have Induced him to that course. A mass of written material on the subject exists, however, which he preserved to gether with the ms. Of this volume. Some of this was utilised in the text; other portions are unintelligible without the intended illustrations; others, again, are only jottings and memoranda, which he did not work up; but a good deal remains which is in a finished form, and which will be found of interest, either as supplementing passages in the text, or as assisting the visitor to Venice in his examination of the monu ments. These additional passages are given in Appendix 1 l (p. The account of the Venetian Tombs culminates in the third chapter with the description of some of the latest monuments (pp. 147 and this is followed by an analysis of the Grotesque spirit, in order to illustrate further the various characters of mind which brought about the destruction of the Venetian nation.

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. second Of Second Volume In The Old Edition.] TORCELLO. I. Seven miles to the north of Venice, the banks of sand, which near the city rise little above low-water mark, attain by degrees a higher level, and knit themselves at last into fields of salt morass, raised here and there into shapeless mounds, and intercepted by narrow creeks of sea. One of the feeblest of these inlets, after winding for some time among buried fragments of masonry, and knots of sunburnt weeds whitened with webs of fucus, stays itself in an utterly stagnant pool beside a plot of greener grass covered with ground ivy and violets. On this mound is built a rude brick campanile, of the commonest Lombardic type, which if we ascend towards evening (and there are none to hinder us, the door of its ruinous staircase, swinging idly on its hinges), we may command from it one of the most notable scenes in this wide world of ours. Far as the eye can reach, a waste of wild seamoor, of a lurid ashen grey; not like our northern moors, with their jet-black pools and purple heath, but lifeless, the colour of sackcloth with the corrupted sea-water soaking through the roots of its arid weeds, and gleaming hither and. thither through its snaky channels. No gathering of fantastic mists, no coursing of clouds across it; but melancholy clearness of space in the warm sunset, oppressive, reaching to the horizon of its level gloom. To the very horizon, on the north-east; but to the north and west, there is a blue line of higher land along the border of it, and above this, but farther back, a misty band of mountains, touched with snow. To the east, the paleness and roar of the Adriatic, louder at momentary intervals as the surf breaks on the bars of sand; to the south, the widening branches of the calm lago...
