In this seminal work of art history, John Ruskin explores the architectural and artistic history of Venice, Italy, and the cultural forces that shaped the city’s unique character. Focusing on the sea-stories -- the myths, legends, and histories associated with the sea that permeated Venetian culture -- Ruskin offers a profound meditation on the power of art and architecture to shape human consciousness and identity.
