His focus is on gothic architecture, which is fine by me, since I love the structure. Good explanation of form, function and aesthetics. I see that there will be more Turner in the second half.

Considering the times, his lectures are insightful. Unlike modern society with its world influence of varying beliefs, in Ruskin's world, there is no question that Christianity is the answer, and his analysis of ancient art vs. modern art. Thus, it's interesting reading about his insight into gothic architecture. Interesting - Beauty vs. Truth, considering that Beauty and Truth are relative. Are they objective?
