""On The Nature Of Gothic Architecture: And Herein Of The True Functions Of The Workman In Art"" is a book written by John Ruskin in 1854. The book is a treatise on Gothic architecture and its true functions. Ruskin argues that Gothic architecture is the true architecture of the people, and that it is a reflection of the culture and society in which it was created.Ruskin explores the various elements of Gothic architecture, such as the pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses. He also discusses the use of color and decoration in Gothic architecture, and how these elements contribute to the overall effect of the building.Throughout the book, Ruskin emphasizes the importance of the workman in art. He argues that the workman is not just a laborer, but an artist in his own right. The workman's skill and creativity are essential to the creation of great art, including Gothic architecture.Overall, ""On The Nature Of Gothic Architecture: And Herein Of The True Functions Of The Workman In Art"" is a seminal work on Gothic architecture and its place in art and society. Ruskin's insights into the true functions of the workman in art continue to be relevant today, and the book remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theory of architecture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
