GoogleJohn Ruskin (1819-1900) was an English writer, philosopher, art critic, artist, and social thinker of the Victorian era. He is considered the leading English art critic of the Victorian era and the father of modern art criticism. Ruskin wrote on a wide range of subjects, including geology, architecture, myth, ornithology, literature, education, botany, and political economy. He was also a talented watercolorist, teacher, and geologist. Ruskin's ideas and concerns are widely studied and discussed today, and his reputation has steadily improved since the 1960s with the publication of numerous academic studies of his work. Ruskin's relationship with Turner cemented after the artist died in 1851, and Ruskin cataloged nearly 20,000 sketches that Turner gave to the British nation123. Perplexity.ai
