Description

John Ruskin (1819-1900) was the leading English art critic of the Victorian era, as well as an art patron, draughtsman, watercolourist, philosopher, prominent social thinker and philanthropist.

He wrote on subjects as varied as geology, architecture, myth, ornithology, literature, education, botany and political economy.

His writing styles and literary forms were equally varied.

He wrote essays and treatises, poetry and lectures, travel guides and manuals, letters and even a fairy tale.

He also made detailed sketches and paintings of rocks, plants, birds, landscapes, architectural structures and ornamentation.

The elaborate style that characterised his earliest writing on art gave way in time to plainer language designed to communicate his ideas more effectively.

In all of his writing, he emphasised the connections between nature, art and society.
