EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable study by John Ruskin, titled "Study for General Chiaroscuro of the Sarcophagus and Canopy of the Tomb of Mastino II". Created around 1869, this graphite on paper masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. Ruskin's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this composition, which explores the funerary elements of Verona's medieval past. The artist delves into Italian history by capturing the essence of Mastino II della Scala's tomb with incredible precision. The image transports us to a time when Gothic architecture reigned supreme. The sarcophagus and canopy depicted here exude an air of grandeur and solemnity that befits their purpose as a final resting place for an esteemed figure like Mastino II. Through his masterful use of chiaroscuro, Ruskin expertly plays with light and shadow to create depth and drama within this drawing. Every stroke seems purposeful, enhancing our understanding of Western art traditions while showcasing Ruskin's own artistic prowess. As we gaze upon this evocative piece, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its enduring beauty. This photograph captures every intricate detail, allowing us to appreciate Ruskin's skill from afar while admiring Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving fine art for generations to come.
