The Seven Lamps of Architecture is an influential essay by the English art critic John Ruskin, first published in 1849. In it, the author establishes seven fundamental principles of architecture: sacrifice, truth, power, beauty, life, memory, and obedience. Ruskin explores how these principles can be applied to the creation of buildings that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, and argues that architecture should be an expression of the moral and spiritual values of a society.
John Ruskin was an English polymath – a writer, lecturer, art historian, art critic, draughtsman and philanthropist of the Victorian era. He wrote on subjects as varied as art, architecture, political economy, education, museology, geology, botany, ornithology, literature, history, and myth.
