EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of John Ruskin, captured in 1854 by the talented artist John Everett Millais. Painted with oil on canvas, this portrait measures 71.3x60.8 cm and is currently housed at the Ashmolean Museum in the University of Oxford, UK. John Ruskin was not only a leading English art critic during the Victorian era but also an influential philanthropist, social thinker, writer, and art patron. His contributions to society extended beyond his critical analysis of art as he actively supported various causes and advocated for social reform. In this full-length portrait, Ruskin stands confidently amidst a traditional landscape setting. Dressed in a distinguished Victorian-era costume and wearing a hat that adds to his aura of authority, he gazes thoughtfully into the distance while standing near rocky rapids along a rural river. The painting beautifully captures both Ruskin's intellectual presence and his connection to nature. The rugged rocks symbolize strength and resilience while reflecting his deep appreciation for natural beauty. As we admire this remarkable piece of Western art history, we are reminded of John Ruskin's significant contributions to literature as well. He was not only an accomplished draughtsman but also a watercolourist who expressed himself through multiple artistic mediums. Overall, this print serves as a visual tribute to one of Britain's most prominent figures from the Victorian era - an individual whose influence spanned across various fields including art criticism, writing, philanthropy, and social
