John Ruskin was a great English writer, poet, artist, art theorist, and social reformer. He is best known for his work on art criticism and architecture, particularly Gothic architecture, and his role in shaping the Pre-Raphaelite artistic movement. Among his most outstanding works are "Lectures on Art," "Artistic Fiction: The Beautiful and the Ugli," "English Art," "Modern Painters," and "The Stones of Venice," among others. In total, Ruskin wrote approximately fifty books, seven hundred articles, and lectures.
This book contains two classic lecture series delivered to Oxford students: "Lectures on Art" and "The Eagle's Nest." The first series represents the quintessence of the art historian's artistic concepts, reflecting on the history of art, its essence, role, and significance in social life. Here, Ruskin, for the first time in the history of art criticism, discusses the hedonistic purpose of art, as well as "pure" and "mass" art. The second cycle is devoted to the relationship between science and art, the influence of anatomy on the work of great artists, and the importance of a selfless approach to creativity. In this cycle, Ruskin also presents a comprehensive system for cultivating the eye, which will help one learn to see beauty in the mundane.
