Ruskin's Rose tells the unforgettable story of Ruskin's relationship and of his time in Venice, when he rediscovered art through the paintings of fifteenth-century artist Vittore Carpaccio. Gorgeously illustrated with photographs of letters, maps, flowers, lockets, and other artifacts, this tale will stir the heart of every reader.

The tale begins in Venice, a year after Rose's death. Ruskin had fled there to escape his pain, but the dangerous romance of Venice's canals and bridges only intensified his emotions. He found himself unable to leave but without a reason to stay--until the day he stumbled across the painting of fifteenth-century artist Vittore Carpaccio and found Rose in the fairy-tale portraits.
Set in Victorian London and Venice, this tantalizing book reveals what Ruskin discovered—about himself and about love—during the final months of 1876 and into early 1877. It will touch the heart of every reader.
