Résumé

In "The Queen of the Air: Being a Study of the Greek Myths of Cloud and Storm, " John Ruskin offers a compelling exploration of the intersections between mythology, nature, and art. Through a meticulous analysis of Greek myths related to the elemental forces of air and storm, Ruskin delineates the profound connections between the natural world and human perception. His poetic yet analytical prose reflects the Victorian literary tendency to celebrate nature while grappling with its sublime aspects, positioning the work within the broader context of Romanticism.
The text serves as a critical examination of the underlying philosophies that inform artistic representation and human emotion, demonstrating Ruskin's belief in the moral significance of beauty within nature. John Ruskin, a prominent art critic, social thinker, and philanthropist, was profoundly influenced by his passion for nature and the visual arts. His extensive background in art history and profound admiration for Gothic architecture informed his views on beauty and its moral implications.
Ruskin's critiques of industrialization and its dehumanizing effects are evident in this work, making it a reflection of his ongoing dialogue with the shifting paradigms of his time. For readers interested in the interplay between mythology, nature, and art, "The Queen of the Air" is an enriching text that challenges conventional notions of beauty and invites a deeper understanding of the elemental forces shaping our world.
Ruskin's meticulous scholarship and lyrical style will captivate not only mythology enthusiasts but also anyone seeking a deeper connection with the natural environment.
