| | JOHN RUSKIN - LoveToKnow Article on JOHN RUSKIN |
| | Although Ruskin was practised in drawing from the time that he could hold a pencil, and had lessons in painting from some eminent artists, he at no time attempted to paint pictures. | | | John Ruskin returned to his parents, with whom he resided till their death; and neither his marriage nor the annulling of it seems to have affected seriously his literary career. | | | This marks an epoch in the career of John Ruskin; and the year 1860 closed the series, of his works on art strictly so called; indeed, this was the last of his regular works in substantial form. |

| | Ruskin subsequently married the painter John Everett Millais. | | | Ruskin was the virtual dictator of artistic opinion in England, but Ruskin’s reputation declined after his death, and he has been treated harshly by 20th-century critics. | | | This work started as a defense of the painter J. Turner and developed into a treatise elaborating the principles that art is based on national and individual integrity and morality and also that art is a “universal language.” He finished the five volumes in 1860. |

| | Art/Museums - Ruskin, Turner and the Pre-Raphaelites |
| | John Ruskin, the world’s foremost art critic in the mid- and late-19th Century, was a connoisseur and an artist. | | | Ruskin had by now become single-minded in his reverence for the 65-year-old Turner; his style impacted on Ruskin’s own work and he was enriched by personal association with the artist. | | | Ruskin’s landmark trip to Lucca that year resulted in drawings of the early Italian painters in the Church of San Romano, the Duomo, studies of the façade of San Michele, and drawings (which have not survived) of Ilaria de Caretto’s tomb in the Duomo, carved by Jacopo della Quercia in 1430. |

| | John James, who grumbled in his diary about the visits from Winnington girls (`Miss Bell, 5 virgins to strawberries') felt differently about `innocent and loving Rose', as the diary describes her, while Margaret Ruskin took delight in an infant piety that was already a marked part of her character. | | | Ruskin often talked about Rose La Touche to Margaret Bell and her pupils and he began to hope that the girl might one day, perhaps quite shortly, be sent to Winnington for her education. | | | Ruskin had no intention of issuing another Academy Notes and, though he did not realise it, his career as an arbiter of contemporary art was now at its end. |

| | Ruskin undertook a number of trips to Italy during his lifetime and, during the trip in 1845, found in the architecture and sculpture an inspiring beauty which he reflected in the best of his sketches. | | | Ruskin, like Wordsworth, had a great love for nature and in developing his early critical skills in painting and architecture, attempted to tie in the definition of "good" form to a reflection of the natural form. | | | He won a poetry prize in 1839 and because of his substantial allowances from his father, began to collect the paintings of J. Turner. |

| | Prologue: Ruskin's life |
| | While at Oxford (where his mother had accompanied him) Ruskin associated largely with a wealthy and often rowdy set but continued to publish poetry and criticism; and in 1839 he won the Oxford Newdigate Prize for poetry. | | | In 1836, the year he matriculated as a gentleman-commoner at Christ Church, Oxford, he wrote a pamphlet defending the painter Turner against the periodical critics, but at the artist's request he did not publish it. | | | In 1855 Ruskin began Academy Notes, his reviews of the annual exhibition, and the following year, in the course of which he became acquainted with the man who later became his close friend, the American Charles Eliot Norton, he published the third and fourth volumes of Modern Painters and The Harbours of England. |

| | Ruskin understood this but didn’t often let it stop him from writing at great length of ideas in art. | | | As Ruskin himself said many times, art is not mainly preaching, and Ruskin’s first talent was for preaching. | | | But beyond his lovely prose style, Ruskin was never a natural artist. |

| | Ruskin pere’s profitable sherry business enabled the family to make annual pilgrimages to Italy, France and the Alps where, from a young age, Ruskin’s aesthetic appetites were nourished on a broad exposure to European architecture, painting, and the watercolors and drawings of Turner his father collected. | | | Acting on his own critique, Ruskin taught drawing free of charge at the Working Men’s College in London, enlisted his students in building projects in slums, endowed schools and museums in working-class areas, supported a small retinue of artists and founded a craft-based community, St. George’s Guild, into which he poured his considerable fortune. | | | While Ruskin never stopped writing and lecturing about art, by 1860, his focus had shifted to social criticism. |

| | Ruskin received painting lessons from Anthony Copley Fielding in 1836 and drawing lessons from James Duffield Harding (1797-1863) in 1841-45, and was himself a drawing instructor for much of his life, offering lessons to many acquaintances and holding weekly drawing classes at the Working Men's College in London (1854-61). | | | Ruskin once said that drawings by artists such as Harding were "all for impression," while his were "all for information." But Ruskin's information is always specific, never generalized. | | | Ruskin was in constant contact with professional artists such as Duffield Harding, who accompanied Ruskin on an Italian sketching tour in 1845. |

| | For those who haven't heard of him, Ruskin, Thomas Carlyle, and William Morris are the dominant voices in the "Pre-Raphaelite" movement in Victorian literature and the arts. | | | In the sense that his work was critical of Victorian industrialization and Capitalism, Ruskin's work had a big influence on many Marxist and progressive thinkers. | | | One thing that struck me was the extent to which Ruskin's political investments overlap with those of succeeding generations. |
