Lectures On Architecture And Painting Delivered At Edinburgh In November, 1853 is a book written by John Ruskin, a prominent art critic and social thinker of the 19th century. The book is a collection of lectures delivered by Ruskin in Edinburgh in 1853, where he discussed the principles of architecture and painting.In this book, Ruskin explores the relationship between art and society, and how the built environment can reflect the values and beliefs of a culture. He argues that architecture and painting should be rooted in the natural world, and that they should serve a moral purpose.The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on architecture and the second part on painting. In the section on architecture, Ruskin discusses the importance of ornamentation and the use of natural materials. He also critiques the prevailing architectural styles of his time, such as Gothic Revival and Classical Revival, and advocates for a return to medieval architecture.In the section on painting, Ruskin discusses the principles of color and composition, and how they can be used to create emotional and moral effects in the viewer. He also critiques the prevailing artistic styles of his time, such as the Pre-Raphaelites, and advocates for a return to the classical tradition.Overall, Lectures On Architecture And Painting Delivered At Edinburgh In November, 1853 is a seminal work in the history of art criticism, and a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the most influential thinkers of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
