$a This book of plates had first been published in three parts in 1851, to accompany the first volume of Ruskin's The stones of Venice; in which the critic expressed his appreciation of the Romanesque and Gothic buildings of that city, and extended to the field of architecture the concern for blending aesthetic with spiritual and ethical values which he had already begun to express in his writings on painting. The plates are captioned, and show: 1. The Ducal Palace. Twentieth Capital.; 2. Arabian Windows, In Campo Santa Maria Mater Domini; 3. Byzantine Capitals. From Torcello And Saint Mark's.; 4. Cornice And Mouldings. From A Tomb In The Church Of SS. Giovanni E Paolo; 5. The Ducal Palace. Compartments Of The Southern Balcony.; 5B. The Ducal Palace. Sections Of The Southern Balcony.; 6. St. Mark's. Southern Portico.; 7. St. Mark's. Details Of The Lily Capitals.; 8. Byzantine Ruin. In Rio Di Ca' Foscari.; 9. Byzantine Ruin. In Rio Di Ca' Foscari.; 10. Palace In Rio Di Ca' Foscari. Conjectural Restoration.; 11. Door Heads. From Ca' Contarini Porta Di Ferro; And In Campo S. Margherita; 12. Door Heads. 1. In Ramo Dirimpetto Mocenigo.; 13. Door Heads. 2. In Campiello Della Chiesa, San Luca.; 14. Ca' Bernardo Mocenigo. Capital Of Window Shafts.; 15. The Ducal Palace. Renaissance Capitals Of The Loggia. The engravings include mezzotints and tinted lithographs. In the 'Preface To The First Edition (1851)' Ruskin states that the plates are copies not of daguerrotypes but of his own drawings, but adds, 'I have used the help of the daguerrotype without scruple in completing many of the mezzotinted subjects for the present series'. |
