John Ruskin

I recently went to a small local gallery when I was on a trip to one of Sheffields universities and came across a few John Ruskin pieces...

A brief outline of John Ruskin
He was a leading English art critic of the Victorian era, also an art patron, draughtsman, watercolourist, a prominent social thinker and philanthropist. He wrote on subjects ranging from geology to architecture, myth to ornithology, literature to education, and botany to political economy. In 1869, Ruskin became the first Slade Professor of Fine Art at the University of Oxford, where he established the Ruskin School of Drawing.
