Beschreibung

""Our Fathers Have Told Us: Part 1, The Bible Of Amiens, Chapter 4, Interpretations"" is a book written by John Ruskin in 1881. This book is part of a larger work called ""Our Fathers Have Told Us"" which is a collection of Ruskin's lectures on architecture and art. In this particular chapter, Ruskin focuses on the interpretations of the Bible as seen through the artwork in the Cathedral of Amiens in France. Ruskin examines the different ways in which the Bible has been interpreted throughout history and how these interpretations have influenced art and architecture. He also discusses the importance of understanding the context in which the Bible was written in order to fully appreciate its meaning. The book is written in a scholarly and analytical style, with a focus on historical context and art criticism. It is aimed at readers who are interested in the history of art and architecture and the ways in which they intersect with religious and cultural traditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

John Ruskin was an English writer, philosopher, art critic, and polymath during the Victorian era. He lived from 8 February 1819 to 20 January 1900. He published on a wide range of topics, including political economy, myth, ornithology, literature, education, and geology. Ruskin was very interested in Viollet le Duc's work, especially his Dictionary, which he regarded to be "the only book of any value on architecture." He taught it to all of his students, including William Morris. Ruskin used a variety of literary genres and writing styles. In addition to articles and treatises, he also published poems, lectures, travel instructions, correspondence, and even a fairy tale. Additionally, he created in-depth drawings and paintings of decorations, landscapes, birds, plants, and rocks. His early writings on art were written in an ornate style that eventually gave way to simpler language that served to better convey his ideas. He highlighted the links between nature, art, and society in all of his writing.
