O ovoj e-knjizi
The Seven Lamps of Architecture is an extended essay, first published in May 1849 and written by the English art critic and theorist John Ruskin. The 'lamps' of the title are Ruskin's principles of architecture, which he later enlarged upon in the three-volume The Stones of Venice.
O autoru
John Ruskin (1819-1900) was a towering figure in the 19th century, whose multifaceted contributions spanned art criticism, social theory, and environmentalism. Born in London to a prosperous wine merchant, Ruskin's early exposure to art and literature fostered a lifelong passion for beauty and moral integrity. Ruskin's seminal work, "Modern Painters," championed the genius of J.M.W. Turner and revolutionized art criticism by emphasizing the emotional and spiritual power of art over technical precision. His writings on architecture, particularly in "The Seven Lamps of Architecture" and "The Stones of Venice," celebrated Gothic architecture and argued for the moral and social significance of craftsmanship, influencing the Arts and Crafts Movement.A controversial figure, Ruskin's personal life was marked by a tumultuous marriage to Effie Gray, which ended in annulment and scandal. His later years saw him grappling with mental illness, yet his intellectual vigor never waned. Ruskin's social and economic ideas, articulated in works like "Unto This Last," critiqued industrial capitalism and advocated for social justice, inspiring figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and the founders of the British Labour Party.Ruskin's legacy endures in his visionary ideas about the interconnectedness of art, society, and nature. His call for a return to craftsmanship, appreciation of natural beauty, and ethical living resonates with contemporary movements advocating sustainability and social equity. A polymath and prophet, Ruskin's life and work continue to challenge and inspire modern readers.
