Mornings In Florence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162674780)

""Mornings in Florence"" is a book written by John Ruskin, an influential Victorian-era art critic and writer. The book is a collection of essays that Ruskin wrote during his travels to Florence, Italy, in the late 19th century. In these essays, Ruskin reflects on the artistic and cultural heritage of Florence, exploring the city's architecture, sculpture, painting, and other forms of artistic expression. He also discusses the history and philosophy of art, offering his own insights and opinions on the subject. Throughout the book, Ruskin's writing is characterized by his lyrical prose, his attention to detail, and his deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of art. ""Mornings in Florence"" is a classic work of art criticism and a testament to Ruskin's enduring influence on the field.There is, indeed, within the opposite cloister, an arch of entrance, plain enough. But no chapel, whatever, externally manifesting itself as worth entering. No walls, or gable, or dome, raised above the rest of the outbuildings--only two windows with traceries opening into the cloister; and one story of inconspicuous building above. You can't conceive there should be any effect of magnitude produced in the interior, however it has been vaulted or decorated. It may be pretty, but it cannot possibly look large.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
