EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Mr Ruskins Home, Brantwood, 1881" offers a glimpse into the private sanctuary of one of the most renowned Victorian art critics and artists, John Ruskin. The print beautifully captures the essence of Brantwood, Ruskin's house nestled on the picturesque banks of Coniston in the Lake District, Cumbria. The artist Laurence J. Hilliard skillfully recreates Ruskin's original drawing with intricate detail and precision. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene, our eyes are drawn to the tranquil lake reflecting the surrounding fells and verdant landscape. Brantwood stands proudly amidst its natural surroundings—a stately building exuding elegance and charm. Its exterior showcases architectural elements that blend harmoniously with nature's beauty. A boat gently rests by the shore, inviting us to imagine leisurely excursions across these serene waters. Ruskin's love for nature is palpable in this panoramic view captured within his own abode. It is as if he invites us to share in his appreciation for both art and nature—an invitation to find solace and inspiration within these idyllic surroundings. This engraving not only immortalizes Mr Ruskins' cherished home but also serves as a testament to his profound influence on Victorian art criticism and his deep connection with the English countryside. It transports us back in time—allowing us a fleeting glimpse into an era where beauty was celebrated through meticulous drawings like this one.
