First educated by his mother and by various tutors, he later attended Oxford University. His study there was interrupted for two years by illness. After resuming his education, he received his B.A. in 1842 and his M.A. in 1843. He married Euphemia Chalmers Gray in 1848, but the marriage was annulled in 1855. He taught art at Oxford and wrote extensively throughout his life, most notably on art and social issues. In 1871 he tried to found a Utopia in England, and for the remainder of his life continued to urge social reform. Ruskin died on January 20, 1900, in Coniston. Scope and Content:

    Extractions: Coniston, Cumbria. Who Was Ruskin? John Ruskin (1819-1900) was one of the greatest Victorians; his range of interests and achievements were quite staggering. He was an artist, art critic, amateur geologist, a teacher, writer, social critic and philosopher. He thought that it was fundamental to make links between all subjects and disciplines - for example, science and religion; nature and art. Somehow he could always see the whole picture. Leo Tolstoy said that Ruskin was: "one of those rare men who think with their hearts." John James, a hard-working wine and sherry merchant with the firm of Ruskin, Telford and Domecq, diluted his son's religious teaching with literature - notably Byron and Walter Scott. His ambitions for his son meant that he was prepared to spend money on tutors for Art and the Classics, and to buy him a place at Oxford University . John James would have liked his son to be a poet; Margaret thought he could become Archbishop of Canterbury. They were both well aware that they had a budding genius for a son. The three of them went travelling through Britain and Europe, during which time Ruskin kept diaries and made sketchbooks. He described his first views of the Alps as a kind of revelation - he felt that God, the natural world and his future life were all set before him in those awesome surroundings.

Ruskin was anxious that art should spread more widely into all aspects of human activity and, writing in a materialistic age which was driven by the industrial revolution, he was much ahead of his time.

The former take delight in the work of others and the latter take delight in their own work, generally. Most people would prefer to be known as an artist rather than merely as a connoisseur, but without connoisseurs most artists would be lost. John Ruskin, the world’s foremost art critic in the mid- and late-19th Century, was a connoisseur and an artist. Although best known for his controversial libel trial with Whistler and for his promotion of the work of Turner and the Pre-Raphaelites, Ruskin was a very influential writer on architecture whose advocacy of preservation and public exposure to the arts and "adult education" were highly important. In the current age of multi-culturalism and "political correctness," Ruskin’s "elitist" views might still seem controversial to some, but his fervor and oeuvre, both literary and artistic, is in no way diminished. While his contributions to English heritage are magnificent and very impressive, his life’s interests, goals, and achievements are of exceeding interest to everyone in love with art, architecture, and the notion of beauty. Moreover, his is a fascinating story of how even the most brilliant observers can have blind spots and how even powerful and influential men can have strange love lifes.

    Extractions: Figure 1.A 3 1/2 year old John Ruskin was painted in 1822 by James Northcote, National Portrait Gallery. The hills in the background "as blue as my shoes" were included at the reqiest of young John, who reportedly felt the "idea of distant hills was commected in my mind with the approach to the extreme felicities of life". It is unclear to HBC why he is holding a blue ribbon. But his mother claerly liked blue sashes and bows, Note the long sash flowing from a bow at his back, bows on his shoulders, and bows on his blue shoes. John Ruskin was a towering intellect and leading voice in England during the second half of the 19th Century. He was an author, art critic, and reformerone of England's most respected Victorian thinkers. Some have called him the most influentional cultural figure of his day. He had a strict if protected childhood. While HBC at this time has little information on how he was dressed as a child, we do know that he wore dresses as a small boy. Available information, however, provides some fascination insights into child rearing practices in the Victorian era. John was the only child of Margaret and John James Ruskin. His father, a prosperous, self-made man who was a founding partner of Pedro Domecq sherries, collected art and encouraged his son's literary activities, while his mother, a devout evangelical Protestant, early dedicated her son to the service of God and devoutly wished him to become an Anglican bishop. In his parents' life the struggle with sin and the struggle with poverty were both won by effort and denial.

    Extractions: John Ruskin was born in London on 8 February 1819. He was one of the greatest figures of the Victorian age, poet, artist, critic, social revolutionary and conservationist. Ruskin made his first visit to Keswick in 1824, when he was 5 years old, and the memorial erected at Friars Crag after his death by the efforts of Canon Rawnsley, reminds us that 'the first thing I remember as an event in life was being taken by my nurse to the brow of Friar's Crag on Derwentwater'. That first view of Friar's Crag made a deep impression on the five year old boy, and years later he described the incident as 'the creation of the world for me'. After a brief stay in Keswick in 1826, the family came for a three week holiday in the Lakes in 1830. After a trip from Windermere to Hawkshead and Coniston, he wrote is experiences in Iteriad , a poem of 2310 lines which were highly competent for a boy of 11. Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris met whilst at Oxford taking Holy Orders. Here they gained inspiration from the writings of John Ruskin, and decided they wanted to become artists. Ruskin saw the work of Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood as 'the dawn of a new era of art', and Burne-Jones went to London to seek out Rossetti. Ruskin became a great friend of Rossetti, Burne-Jones and Millais (who later married Ruskin's wife Effie), and was an eminent artist himself. Ruskin was appointed Slade Professor of Fine Art at Oxford University in 1869, and it was here that he met

    Extractions: John Ruskin (1819-1900), a lifelong experimenter with genre, is best known as an art critic whose theories of beauty and the imagination were formed by his evangelical training, his attention to detail, and the early poetry of William Wordsworth . Ruskin's literary criticism, dispersed throughout Modern Painters (1843-60) and concentrated in his studies of myth, The Queen of the Air (1869), and of Romantic poetry and the novel, Fiction Fair and Foul (1880-81), reflects his sustained concern for art as a visible sign of an abstract quality, particularly the moral temper of the artist. His dramatic verbal translations of J. M. W. Turner's canvases in volume 1 of Modern Painters (1843), his highly wrought visual associations, and his allegorical readings of painting, sculpture, and landscape in later works such as Modern Painters 5 (1860) and The Bible of Amiens (1880-85) influenced George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and Marcel Proust, among other writers. Ruskin's aesthetic judgments were based on the link between beauty and morality made during daily Bible readings with his mother, who required him to recite passages from memory and enforced what he called in his autobiography accuracy of sensation and precision of feeling. In the habit of observing everything around him (including patterns in the carpet and bricks in the wall) and of searching the Bible for types and antitypes, Ruskin believed that physical qualities manifest divine attributes. In Modern Painters 2 (1846), he labels this relation "typical" after biblical typology, although the connection he makes between light, for example, and purity is actually allegorical, since it juxtaposes an abstraction with a phenomenon. Ruskin's "vital beauty," defined as "the appearance of felicitous fulfilment of function in living things" (4-146), is more akin to evangelical typology; an object displaying vital beauty reenacts "a moral purpose and achievement" (4-147) that arouses the sympathy of the virtuous beholder. By claiming that beauty was in effect purposive and inherent in objects, Ruskin was able to dissociate aesthetics from utility and invest art with a divine pattern or order. His position allied him with the eighteenth-century sensationists, notably
