He also discusses the use of color and decoration in Gothic architecture, and how these elements contribute to the overall effect of the building.Throughout the book, Ruskin emphasizes the importance of the workman in art. He argues that the workman is not just a laborer, but an artist in his own right. The workman's skill and creativity are essential to the creation of great art, including Gothic architecture.Overall, ""On The Nature Of Gothic Architecture: And Herein Of The True Functions Of The Workman In Art"" is a seminal work on Gothic architecture and its place in art and society.
