Obliged reading for anyone interested in the spirit of Arquitechture.
By Baregil de Gomçesval
Ruskin was the foremost art critic of the Victorian era. This Oxonian scholar was a gentleman of universal and unusual talents.

In 'The Stones of Venice' he reviews that fertile depository of so different cross currents of arts, the 'Serenissima Republica', which had no better exit than by sea, through the Adriatic.

When Marcel Proust visited Venice, hand in book as his guide, he walked and saw through the eyes of Ruskin. You should too and your scope of art appreciation will expand towards new frontiers.

High art in Venice in particular and in Europe in general are no longer produced because the Spirit has left its carcass, which is rotting and decaying, just as Venice was by the time Ruskin walked its narrow alleys and across its street bridges. And because that Spirit has left Europe it no longer produces geniuses of the caliber of John Ruskin.

A Threshold to Ruskin
By Neil Shephard
"The Stones of Venice (introductions)" is a condensed version of a multi-volume work. Ruskin is one of the great prose stylist of the Victorian Period whose writings dwell on two subjects: high art and social reform.
"High art" means canvas painting, sculpture, and architecture. He particularly admired Gothic architecture of which Venice contained in its churches magnificent examples. This collection of extracts focuses on Saint Mark's cathedral.It omits the illustrations which grace the parental volumes. In that regard it is a weaker effort. In another regard "Stones of Venice (Introductions)" serves quiet well.

As I mentioned Ruskin excelled in prose expression. Marcel Proust translated him into French as a study of his manner preparatory to producing "Remembrance of Things Past" (or "In Search of Lost Time" as others translate the title), perhaps France's greatest novel during the first quarter of the twentieth century.A remark in the preface to the Modern Library edition of that novel prompted me to get this e-book; namely that Proust was impressed by the English master's control of long sentences. I thought I too, but with lesser intelligence, might also benefit. There is an opinion that writing and speaking are much the same in execution. Hardly. We are biologically fitted to speak; brain, vocal chords, and mouth united to enunciate meaningful sound. A boy or girl need not go to school to learn to speak. They do have to go to learn how to write. The great source for knowing effective written expression is essentially an acquaintance with its better practitioners relative to ones own time. True, Ruskin, who died in 1900 is more than a century out of sync with contemporary writing and idiom. Yet a sentence remains a sentence and always for the conscientious writer a matter of concern. Although Ruskin is not all long sentences, as Hemingway is not all short ones, when he does produce a long one it has clarity in its progress as this example shows:

" Let us go together up the more retired street, at the end of which we can
see the pinnacles of one of the towers, and then through the low gray
gateway, with its battlemented top and small latticed window in the
centre, into the inner private-looking road or close, where nothing goes
in but the carts of the tradesmen who supply the bishop and the chapter,
and where there are little shaven grass-plots, fenced in by neat rails,
before old-fashioned groups of somewhat diminutive and excessively trim
houses, with little oriel and bay windows jutting out here and there,
and deep wooden cornices and eaves painted cream color and white, and
small porches to their doors in the shape of cockle-shells, or little,
crooked, thick, indescribable wooden gables warped a little on one side;
and so forward till we come to larger houses, also old-fashioned, but of
red brick, and with gardens behind them, and fruit walls, which show
here and there, among the nectarines, the vestiges of an old cloister
arch or shaft, and looking in front on the cathedral square itself, laid
out in rigid divisions of smooth grass and gravel walk, yet not
uncheerful, especially on the sunny side where the canons' children are
walking with their nurserymaids."

In summary then, this is not a book for the general reader, but for a reader interested in the study of past significant writers, a category in which John Ruskin certainly belongs. However, it does not show a full range of his proficiency in English prose. In his day he was renowned for depicting scenic beauty to the point he complained readers paid more attention to how pretty he wrote than to the rationale he sought to express. He was also foremost in campaigning for social reform. If "The Stones of Venice (Introductions)" encourages an interest in his other works, it has served a useful purpose.
