Description

Specification

Marcel Proust's critical essays on art, collected by himself in the book 'In Memory of the Murdered Churches,' are largely a response to the theories of John Ruskin, whose texts he translated into French. Proust devotes considerable space to the functions of the museum, art observation, the concept of the landmark, and other topics. These works provide a detailed and profound exploration of Proust's aesthetic positions, which later found expression in his novel cycle 'In Search of Lost Time.'

The collection is supplemented by a translation of the essay 'Rembrandt.'
