GIOTTO AND HIS WORKS IN PADUA

Ruskin was an important figure in the 19th-century, redefining art criticism with his attention to detail, polemical and ekphrastic prose and the conviction with which he expressed his ideas. In this book, he utilises this signature style to present a compelling s tudy on what it means to be a great artist, as well as providing an enriching read for students of art history. He explores the pane ls in Area Chapel and brings them to life, describing their many hidden details and how they demonstrate Giottos unrivalled genius.
