	John Ruskin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ruskin was born in London, and raised in south London, the son of a wine importer who was one of the founders of the company that became Allied Domecq.
		Ruskin's pioneering of the ideas that led to the Arts and Crafts movement was related to the growth of Christian socialism, an ideology that he helped to formulate in his book Unto This Last, in which he attacked laissez faire economics because it failed to acknowledge the complexities of human desires and motivations.
		Ruskin's later relationship with Rose la Touche has also led to claims that he had paedophilic inclinations, on the grounds that he stated that he fell in love with her when he met her at the age of nine.

		John Ruskin was the son of a wealthy wine merchant and grew up on the southern outskirts of London, the family moving to nearby Dulwich when he was 20.
		Ruskin, like Wordsworth, had a great love for nature and in developing his early critical skills in painting and architecture, attempted to tie in the definition of "good" form to a reflection of the natural form.
		Ruskin undertook a number of trips to Italy during his lifetime and, during the trip in 1845, found in the architecture and sculpture an inspiring beauty which he reflected in the best of his sketches.

	Ruskin, John Criticism and Essays
		Ruskin is also considered one of the greatest prose stylists in the English language and is perhaps as well known today for the eloquence of his prose as for its substance.
		Ruskin's writings on economics are similarly valued for their moral force, rather than for their importance to the study of political economy.
		Ruskin's economic works are often criticized for their basis in untenable analogies between the economics of an estate and those of a nation, as well as for the same disorder and illogic that mar his aesthetic writings.

		Ruskin often talked about Rose La Touche to Margaret Bell and her pupils and he began to hope that the girl might one day, perhaps quite shortly, be sent to Winnington for her education.
		John James, who grumbled in his diary about the visits from Winnington girls (`Miss Bell, 5 virgins to strawberries') felt differently about `innocent and loving Rose', as the diary describes her, while Margaret Ruskin took delight in an infant piety that was already a marked part of her character.

		Ruskin was also stamped with a very real awareness of evil, which resurfaced in later life with the experience of terrifying hallucinations, while the inevitable puritanism completed the moulding of his personality.
		Ruskin was later to become a champion of the Pre-Raphaelite painters, whose cause he identified as his own, although his encouragement of these younger artists was mixed with a good deal of unwelcome interference.
		Ruskin's mind could rarely be brought to concentrate on one field for very long, however, and in the late 1850s artistic criticism was supplanted as his primary concern, although, as I have suggested, the moral sensibility that had initially attracted him to this area continued to shape his outlook.

		John Ruskin, whose life almost exactly coincided with that of Queen Victoria (1819-1900), was one of the most influential cultural and intellectual figures of the Victorian age.
		John Batchelor's biography shows that he was emotionally unstable from his earliest years, that he probably suffered from what we would now call a manic depressive orbi-polar disorder and that his difficulties were never primarily or exclusively sexual.
		Ruskin continued, however, to combat his difficulties with blazing energy and it is heartening to note the continuing huge public achievement of this great figure in his later years.

		To Ruskin the relationship between art, morality and social justice was of paramount importance and he increasingly became preoccupied with social reform.
		Gothic was for Ruskin the expression of an integrated and spiritual civilisation; classicism represented paganism and corruption; the use of cast iron, and the increasing importance of function in architecture and engineering seemed to him a lamentable trend.
		Ruskin married (1848) Euphemia (Effie) Gray (the child of whom he had written The King Of the Golden River) but in 1854 the marriage was annulled and Effie later married Millais.

		Ruskin received painting lessons from Anthony Copley Fielding in 1836 and drawing lessons from James Duffield Harding (1797-1863) in 1841-45, and was himself a drawing instructor for much of his life, offering lessons to many acquaintances and holding weekly drawing classes at the Working Men's College in London (1854-61).
		For Ruskin, trees had three fundamental pedagogical advantages: they were infinitely complex, and so challenged even the most intense powers of observation, and they were infinitely varied, so that a great range of textures, shadows, shapes and complex curves were necessary to capture them.
		Ruskin emphasized that art must contain "the essence and the authority of the Beautiful and the True," by which he meant the poetical and morally uplifting insights of the spirit (which Turner was the master at presenting), and the precisely visualized facts of the natural world (exemplified in this drawing).
