Er verfasste eine mehrb¤ndige Geschichte der modernen Malerei und lehrte ab 1869 in Oxford Kunstgeschichte. Als vielseitig gebildeter Kunsthistoriker und bedeutender Sozialreformer nahm er in der zweiten H¤lfte des 19. Jahrhunderts eine beherrschende Stellung im englischen Gesellschaftsleben ein. In vielen Schriften beschrieb er das Evangelium der Sch¶nheit , worunter er eine Verschmelzung von Kunst, Politik und Wirtschaft verstand, die sich am Idealbild mittelalterlicher Kunst orientieren sollte. In der zunehmenden Industrialisierung sah er die Gefahr einer Verkr¼ppelung sowohl menschlicher Tugenden als auch k¼nstlerischer Schaffenskraft. Er trat f¼r eine Wirtschaftsethik ein, in deren Mittelpunkt der Mensch stehen sollte und bei der handwerkliche Arbeit als sch¶pferischer Wert betrachtet werden sollte. In seinen Vorstellungen zur Sozialreform unterbreitete er zahlreiche konkrete bedeutende Vorschl¤ge, wie z.B. Gartenst¤dte und Arbeiterhochschulen. Als Maler und Zeichner trat Ruskin vor allem durch Architekturdarstellungen und Landschaftsstudien in Erscheinung.

His father, a wealthy merchant, encouraged his youthful passions for art, literature, and travel. He set forth his theory about the relationship between art and morality in the first volume of Modern Painters. This work was in part a defense of the then-controversial painter J. M. W. Turner. The two books that followed, The Seven Lamps of Architecture (1849) and The Stones of Venice (1851-1853), were studies in the religious, moral, economic, and political significance of domestic architecture. Rebelling against the aesthetically numbing and socially debasing effects of the Industrial Revolution , he put forth the theory that art, which is essentially spiritual, reached its zenith in the Gothic art of the late Middle Ages, which was inspired by religious and moral zeal. Ruskin believed that individual craftsmen produced the most beautiful and unique work. These craftsman, if given the freedom to design, were capable of producing beautiful works of art befitting religious structures.

Links to other Sites John Ruskin (1819-1900) was one of the greatest Victorians; his range of interests and achievements were quite staggering. He was an artist, art critic, amateur geologist, a teacher, writer, social critic and philosopher. He thought that it was fundamental to make links between all subjects and disciplines - for example, science and religion; nature and art. Somehow he could always see the whole picture. Leo Tolstoy said that Ruskin was: "one of those rare men who think with their hearts." PARENT POWER. John James, a hard-working wine and sherry merchant with the firm of Ruskin, Telford and Domecq, diluted his son's religious teaching with literature - notably Byron and Walter Scott. His ambitions for his son meant that he was prepared to spend money on tutors for Art and the Classics, and to buy him a place at Oxford University . John James would have liked his son to be a poet; Margaret thought he could become Archbishop of Canterbury. They were both well aware that they had a budding genius for a son. The three of them went travelling through Britain and Europe, during which time Ruskin kept diaries and made sketchbooks. He described his first views of the Alps as a kind of revelation - he felt that God, the natural world and his future life were all set before him in those awesome surroundings.

John Ruskin From LoveToKnow 1911 JOHN RUSKIN (1819-1900), English writer and critic, was born in London , at Hunter Street, Brunswick Square, on the 8th of February 1819, being the only child of John James Ruskin and Margaret Cox. They were Scots, first cousins, the grandchildren of a certain John Ruskin of Edinburgh (1732-1780). In Praeterita the author professes small knowledge of his ancestry. But the memoirs published on the authority of the family trace their descent to the Adairs and Agnews of Galloway . In this family tree are men famous in arms and in the public service: Sir Andrew Agnew of Lochnaw, Admiral Sir John Ross , Field-Marshal Sir Hew Dalrymple Ross , Dr John Adair , in whose arms Wolfe died at Quebec , and the Rev. W. Tweddale of Glenluce, to whom the original Covenant , now in the Glasgow Museum, had been confided. The name Ruskin is said to be a variant of Erskine, or Roskeen, or Rogerkin, and even Roughskin. It is more probably Rusking, an Anglian family, which passed northwards and became Ruskyn, Rusken and Ruskin. John Ruskin, the author's grandfather, a handsome lad of twenty, ran away with Catherine Tweddale, daughter of the Covenanting minister and of Catherine Adair, then a beautiful girl of sixteen. He settled in Edinburgh and engaged in the

John Ruskin (1819-1900) was according to Lionel Trilling "the pre-eminent intellectual genius of Victorian England," an influential social philosopher and art critic and a highly talented watercolor painter. Born in London to a wealthy and fiercely religious Scottish sherry merchant, Ruskin learned at an early age to read several languages, write extensively, and appreciate fine art. He began drawing lessons at age 11; for his 12th birthday he received Samuel Roger's poem Italy in an edition illustrated with etchings after J.M.W. Turner ; in his autobiography he attributed to that gift "the entire direction of my life's work." Ruskin's family toured Belgium, the Rhine Valley and Switzerland in 1833 to see the many places illustrated by Samuel Prout ; two years later he traveled via France to Italy, creating his lifelong passion for the Alps and Venice which he revisited many times in his life. He finally met his painting idol, Turner, in 1840, the same year he became a fellow of the Geological Society. Initially determined to become a Protestant bishop, he turned instead toward art criticism when, at age 24 and while still an undergraduate at Cambridge University, he wrote the first volume of his Modern Painters (1843) expressly as a defense of Turner's art, and in so doing became the first critic to develop a modern esthetic theory for modern painting. Other art critical works followed: four more volumes of

19. John Ruskin (1819-1900) A brief biography of john ruskin, with particular attention to the later period of his life in Cumbria, and his home at Brantwood. http://www.visitcumbria.com/ruskin.htm

'John Ruskin' John Ruskin was born in London on 8 February 1819. He was one of the greatest figures of the Victorian age, poet, artist, critic, social revolutionary and conservationist. Ruskin made his first visit to Keswick in 1824, when he was 5 years old, and the memorial erected at Friars Crag after his death by the efforts of Canon Rawnsley, reminds us that 'the first thing I remember as an event in life was being taken by my nurse to the brow of Friar's Crag on Derwentwater'. That first view of Friar's Crag made a deep impression on the five year old boy, and years later he described the incident as 'the creation of the world for me'. After a brief stay in Keswick in 1826, the family came for a three week holiday in the Lakes in 1830. After a trip from Windermere to Hawkshead and Coniston, he wrote is experiences in Iteriad , a poem of 2310 lines which were highly competent for a boy of 11. Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris met whilst at Oxford taking Holy Orders. Here they gained inspiration from the writings of John Ruskin, and decided they wanted to become artists. Ruskin saw the work of Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood as 'the dawn of a new era of art', and Burne-Jones went to London to seek out Rossetti. Ruskin became a great friend of Rossetti, Burne-Jones and Millais (who later married Ruskin's wife Effie), and was an eminent artist himself. Ruskin was appointed Slade Professor of Fine Art at Oxford University in 1869, and it was here that he met

20. John Ruskin; A Biography john ruskin , English author and art critic, born in London. Son of a wealthy wine merchant, he was brought up in a cultured and religious family, http://www.ourcivilisation.com/decline/ruskinj.htm

John Ruskin (from Barry Jones Dictionary of World Biography. 1998) John Ruskin , English author and art critic, born in London. Son of a wealthy wine merchant, he was brought up in a cultured and religious family, but his mother's over protectiveness undoubtedly contributed to his later psychological troubles. On his frequent trips in Europe, he took an artists's and poet's delight both in landscape and works of art, especially medieval and Renaissance. His first great work, Modern Painters (5 volumes, 1843-60), began as a passionate defence of Turner's pictures, but became a study of the principles of Art. In The Seven Lamps Of Architecture (1849) and The Stones Of Venice (1851) he similarly treated the fundamentals of architecture. These principles enabled him, incidentally, to appreciate and defend the Pre-Raphaelites, then the target of violence and abuse. To Ruskin the relationship between art, morality and social justice was of paramount importance and he increasingly became preoccupied with social reform. His concern inspired, among others, William Morris and Arnold Toynbee, whilst in the practical field he founded the Working Men' s college (1854) and backed with money the experiments of Octavia Hill in the management of house property. He advocated social reforms which later were adopted by all political parties old age pensions, universal free education, better housing. 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. He was Slade Professor of art at Oxford (1870-79) and (1883-84). His later works, eg.
