Más información sobre el libro

"The Arundel Society first published 'Giotto and His Works in Padua' between 1853 and 1860. It stands as Ruskin's most compelling set of reflections on Giotto's masterpiece - an artwork that, in Ruskin's estimation, changed the very course of art history. Originally accompanied by a set of black and white woodcuts of the panels in the chapel, this new edition presents each panel in vivid color photography, adding a useful visual aid to Ruskin's lyrical descriptions. The result is a book that serves not only as an introduction for students of art history, but also as a discussion of what it means to be a great artist, by one of most influential writers ever to tackle visual art."--Publisher's description
