169
1731 Mary Lutyens (Ed.) Young Mrs Ruskin in Venice. Her picture of society and life with John Ruskin, 1849-1852 (New York 1965) [74] See for example Unrau’s comments on Ruskin’s response to the church of 11 Salute, op. tit 48-9
[75] This passage, originally appeared in Ruskin’s short guide to Venice St Mark’s Rest 3 parts (1877-1884). It is quoted in the “Epilogue” to The stones of Venice where it is introduced by a reference to Revelations. John’s description of the new Jerusalem (Rev. 21: 1, l&18, 19,21) is quoted as the paradigm of the utopian idea by P. W. Porter and F. E. Lukermann, The geography of Utopia, in David Lowenthal and Martyn J. Bowden (Eds), Geographies of the mind. Essays in historicalgeosophy on honour ofJohn Kirtland Wright (New York 1976) 199-200. At the age when he wrote this Ruskin was captivated by the St Ursula legend depicted by the fifteenth-century Venetian painter Carpaccio, closely associating St Ursula with Rose Latouche, the young girl with whom he had fallen hopelessly in love [76] Thanks are due to Gabriele Zanetto, Stephen Daniels, Hugh Prince and John Lucas for help and advice in the preparation of this article and to Anne Tarver for preparing the figures
Announcement: Humphry Repton Exhibition The Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, is holding, as part of the Norfolk and Norwich Triennial Festival, a major exhibition of the life and work of Humphry Repton. This will run from 20th September to 31st October 1982, and then transfer to the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. The exhibition will bring together Repton’s Red Books, landscape and architectural designs, letters, watercolours and published works with a substantial photographic record of existing sites. Several of his garden ornaments are to be reconstructed to form a setting. An illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition. This is an important chance to assessRepton’s effect on the appearance of the English landscape and his position as the last of the great eighteenth-century landscape gardeners.
