Synopsis "The Two Paths"

The following addresses, though spoken at different times, are intentionally connected in subject; their aim being to set one or two main principles of art in simple light before the general student, and to indicate their practical bearing on modern design. The law which it has been my effort chiefly to illustrate is the dependence of all noble design, in any kind, on the sculpture or painting of Organic Form.

John Ruskin (London, February 8, 1819 - Coniston, January 20, 1900) was an influential writer, art critic, and British social reformer of the 19th century. His work covers a wide range of subjects, including art, architecture, and political economy.

Among his most notable works are "Modern Painters" (1843-1860), a defense of contemporary landscape painting; "The Seven Lamps of Architecture" (1849), where he establishes fundamental principles of architecture; and "The Stones of Venice" (1851-1853), a deep analysis of Venetian architecture. Additionally, "Sesame and Lilies" (1865) and "The Bible of Amiens" (1880-1885) reflect his interest in literature and history.
