John Ruskin. the celebrated English es-
sayist and art critic. was born in Lon
don, February s, 1919, his father being a
wealthy wine merchant OF that city. He
took his degree at oxford University in
1872. Studying painting under such mas
ters as Copley, Fielding. and Harding. he
nevertheless showed a strong prediction
for the old Dutch masters.
In 1913 appeared the first volume C his
Modern Painters" which. from its revo-
lutionary tendency. excited the hostility OF
conservatives. Gradually however, his
views made way, and the unequaled splen-
dor Of his style gained him a high place in
literature. In IS49 appeared The Seven
Lamps OF Architecture. and in 1851 1-53
The Stones OF Venice" both typifying the
authors peculiar ideas in relation to ar
ehitectural art and illustrated by his own
drawings
The movement termed preraphaelitism
was warmly supported by him in several
pamphlets which he wrote at this time
uS55-60).
Since that time he has occupied a place
in the front rank of English letters and
art During the past decade he has on va
rious occasions exhibited signs Of mental
decay and among these was an extraordi-
nary antipathy TO railways, which drove
him into seclusion at Brentwood. IN the
past lew years he has published little, but
the work OF former years will make his
position in the history Of art a most uni
que one.
