1819 Critic Ruskin Self Portrait Whiskers
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this self-portrait, John Ruskin, the renowned English art critic and writer, is depicted as a young man in the late 1800s. Ruskin's piercing gaze and expressive features convey a sense of intelligence, intensity, and passion for art that would come to define his illustrious career. The photograph, taken around the year 1850, captures Ruskin at the height of his creative powers, with his thick whiskers adding an air of distinguished maturity to his youthful visage. Born in London in 1819, Ruskin was a central figure in the Victorian art world and a leading advocate for the Pre-Raphaelite movement. His groundbreaking ideas on art, architecture, and social issues influenced generations of artists, writers, and thinkers. Ruskin's writings, which included essays, books, and lectures, were renowned for their lucid prose, profound insights, and unwavering commitment to truth and beauty. Despite his prolific output, Ruskin's personal life was marked by tragedy and hardship. He was plagued by ill health, financial difficulties, and a failed marriage, yet he continued to produce some of his most influential works during these challenging times. This self-portrait offers a glimpse into the complex and multifaceted personality of a man who dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge, beauty, and truth. Ruskin's legacy as a critic, writer, and cultural icon continues to resonate in the 21st century, and his influence can be seen in the works of contemporary artists, writers, and thinkers. This self-portrait serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of the arts to inspire and challenge us, and of the importance of staying true to one's creative vision, no matter the personal cost.
