Memory of the killed churches

Marcel Proust's critical articles on art, collected by himself in the book "Memory of the Murdered Churches", are largely the writer's response to the theories of John Ruskin, whose texts he translated into French. Proust devotes a lot of space to the functions of the museum, observation of art, the concept of sightseeing, etc. In these works, Proust's aesthetic positions are described in detail and deeply, which later found expression in the novel cycle In Search of Lost Time. The collection is supplemented by a translation of the essay Rembrandt.2 th edition.
