More about the book
The backdrop of Venice in 1849 serves as both a romantic and artistic setting for Ruskin and his wife Effie, whose unconsummated marriage contrasts with the vibrant social life of the city. While Effie enjoys the company of others, Ruskin immerses himself in solitary studies, focusing on the preservation of Venetian architecture through sketches and notes. His work evolves from a technical history into a comprehensive cultural exploration, reflecting his deep concern for the city's heritage amidst the threat of destruction by Austrian troops.
