Ruskin on Venice: "The Paradise of Cities" - Studies in British Art

Traces John Ruskin's long and intricate relationship with Venice. This book shows how Ruskin shed his Romantic vision, formed by Byron and Turner, and developed a harder, clearer conception of neglected Gothic Venice through an intense study of the city's physical fabric that changed international understanding of the city.
