A. (John Addington) Brown, Horatio Robert Forbes 1854 1926 Sketches and Studies in Italy and Greece, Second Series Produced by Ted Garvin, Jayam and the PG Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Sketches and Studies in Italy and Greece, Second Series" by John Addington Symonds is a travel memoir written in the late 19th century. The work reflects the author's journey through Italy and Greece, exploring the rich history, art, and culture of these regions. It delves into detailed observations of cities like Ravenna and Rimini, reflecting on their historical significance, architectural marvels, and natural beauty. The opening portion of the memoir begins with a vivid description of Ravenna, highlighting its ancient maritime roots and the eroding remnants of its once-bustling cities. Symonds paints a picture of the serene pine forests surrounding Ravenna, filled with flora and fauna, which inspired literary figures like Dante and Byron. He interweaves his observations of the landscape with historical reflections on the city’s past, mentioning prolific rulers and artistic legacies. As he moves on to describe the empty yet majestic ancient churches of Ravenna, he captures the haunting beauty and almost melancholic stillness of the area, inviting readers to reflect on the passage of time and the enduring nature of art and culture amidst decay.
