John Ruskin's Continental Tour 1835

Meer over het boek

John Ruskin's early life was marked by a diverse range of interests, blending religion, science, and art. He memorized the Bible as a child, published poetry at ten, and began writing on geology by fifteen. His artistic skills flourished under prominent drawing masters. Influenced by cultural tours with his family, particularly a significant journey through Europe at sixteen, Ruskin developed a unique perspective on cultural experience, which later informed his critiques of art, architecture, and society.
