Piazzetta and St Marks Venice 1835 

This is a detailed drawing of the Piazzetta and St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, created by the English art critic and social theorist John Ruskin. Ruskin is well-known for his detailed and precise renderings of architecture, often using a linear style and emphasizing the intricate details of the structures. This drawing captures the grandeur of the basilica, with its ornate arches and domes, as well as the delicate tracery of the Doge's Palace in the background. The work reflects Ruskin's interest in Gothic architecture and his appreciation for the beauty of medieval Venetian buildings.
