    About this ebook

    "The Seven Lamps of Architecture" is an extended essay, first published in May 1849, written by the English art critic and theorist John Ruskin. The "lamps" of the title are Ruskin's principles of architecture, which he later enlarged upon in the three-volume The Stones of Venice. In this book, he codified some of the contemporary thinking behind the Gothic Revival.
