This book is a meditation on the city of Venice, its architecture, its bittersweet relationship with nature, John Ruskin's dialogue with the great Venetian artists whose works he reproduced, the curiosity that prompted him to explore it and the imagination with which he captured its essence on paper. It accompanies the story of the famous English critic's long and fruitful love affair with Venice, a city that in Ruskin's drawings and watercolors becomes a theater of "lost time" that builds up traces of historical time even as it is subject to erasure and destruction.
