- Summary:
- "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.
