Sketchbook: Ruin, 1814. Creator: Samuel Prout (British, 1783-1852)
Sketchbook: " Ruin", 1814. John Ruskin (also in this gallery) admired Prouts strength as a draftsman. Like the topographical watercolourists of the 18th century, Prout emphasized form over colour in his watercolours, as is evident in the monochromatic, delicate English views in this sketchbook

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite sketchbook titled "Ruin" created by the talented Samuel Prout in 1814. Prout, a British artist born in 1783, was highly admired by John Ruskin for his exceptional drafting skills. In this particular sketchbook, Prout follows the tradition of topographical watercolourists from the 18th century by emphasizing form rather than color in his delicate English views. The monochromatic beauty of this bound volume is evident through its graphite with gray and tan wash technique. The skillful use of these muted tones adds a sense of timelessness to each page, transporting viewers back to the enchanting landscapes depicted within. As we delve into this remarkable collection, we are transported to a world where ruins hold an undeniable allure. Each stroke of Prout's pen brings life to crumbling structures that tell stories of forgotten times and evoke a sense of melancholy beauty. Presented by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also the historical significance behind Samuel Prout's work. It serves as a reminder that sometimes it is not just about vibrant colors but also about capturing the essence and intricacies hidden within architectural marvels. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this photograph invites us on a journey through time and space as we explore Britain's rich heritage through Samuel Prout's masterful sketches.
