In this book, the British writer and traveler John Ruskin (1819-1900) takes you on a personal tour of Florentine artworks. It can also be a creative companion to roaming through Florence, as the book gives travel directions. Yet, Ruskin had strong views on what is right and wrong with Italian art, and he doesn't hesitate to explain just why you should love or deplore certain works of art. His famous artist was Giotto, and the whole guide paid special interest to this artist.
