1819 Bull Checked Critic Gently Judy Ruskin Satirised Trousers
EDITORS COMMENTS
John Ruskin, the renowned English art critic and writer, is depicted in this charming photograph taken likely in the late 19th century. Ruskin, born in 1819 and passing away in 1900, was a leading figure in the art world and beyond, known for his deep appreciation and advocacy of nature and art. His views on these subjects, while deeply respected, were also gently satirized for their romanticized and idealized portrayal. In this image, Ruskin is shown in a pastoral setting, surrounded by the beauty of nature. He is dressed in typical Victorian attire, wearing a hat adorned with a ribbon and checked trousers. A contented cow and a powerful bull can be seen in the background, adding to the idyllic scene. The trees, in their autumnal splendor, frame Ruskin and provide a sense of history and continuity. Ruskin's influence on art and art criticism was significant, and his writings continue to be studied and admired today. His advocacy for the preservation of art and architecture, as well as his emphasis on the importance of beauty in everyday life, left a lasting impact on the art world and beyond. Despite the gentle satire directed towards his views on nature and art, Ruskin's legacy remains a testament to his enduring love for the natural world and the role of art in capturing its essence.
