Book excerpt: Modern Painters is a five-volume work by the eminent Victorian art critic, John Ruskin. The work placed emphasis on symbolism in art, expressed through nature and it was influential on the early development of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Ruskin wrote Modern Paintings for 17 years updating it and adding later volumes in subsequent years. The book was primarily written as a defense of the later work of J. M. W. Turner. Ruskin argues that recent painters emerging from the tradition of the picturesque are superior in the art of landscape to the old masters. He used the book to argue that art should devote itself to the accurate documentation of nature. In Ruskin's view, Turner had developed from early detailed documentation of nature to a later more profound insight into natural forces and atmospheric effects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painters, Vol. 1 of 5: Of General Principles and of Truth Of the old masters I have spoken with far greater freeedom but let it be remembered that only a portion of the work is now presented to the public, and it must not be supposed, because in that particular portion, and with refference to particular excellences, I have spoken in con stant depreciation, that I have no feeling of other excel lemces of which cognizance can only be taken in future parts of the work. Let me not be understood to mean mrore than I have said, nor be made responsible for con cluisions when I have only stated facts. I have said that thee old masters did not give the truth of nature; if the reader chooses, thence, to infer that they were not masters at: all, it is his conclusion, not mine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painters, Vol. 1 of 5: Of General Principles and of Truth The work now laid before the public originated in indignation at the shallow and false criticism of the periodicals of the day on the works of the great living artist to whom it principally refers. It was intended to be a short pamphlet, reprobating the matter and style of those critiques, and pointing out their perilous tendency, as guides of public feeling. But, as point after point presented itself for demonstration, I found myself compelled to amplify what was at first a letter to the Editor of a Review, into something very like a treatise on art, to which I was obliged to give the more consistency and completeness, because it advocated opinions which, to the ordinary connoisseur, will sound heretical. I now scarcely know whether I should announce it is an Essay on Landscape Painting, and apologize for its frequent reference to the works of a particular master; or, announcing it as a critique on particular works, apologize for its lengthy discussion of general principles. But of whatever character the work may be considered, the motives which led me to undertake it must not be mistaken. No zeal for the reputation of any individual, no personal feeling of any kind, has the slightest weight or influence with me.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painters, Vol. 5 The third and fourth volumes of Modern Painters were published in January and April 1856; the fifth, and concluding, volume did not appear till June 1860. The causes which led to this delay are glanced at by Ruskin in his Preface to the fifth volume, and they have been more fully described in the Introductions to Volumes XIII. - XVI. The years which intervened were four of the busiest in Ruskin's busy life, and the tasks which occupied him seemed more important at the moment than the completion Of his book. He was hard at work, then, on other things; but also he had much to learn before he could see his way to bring his long argument to a conclusion. The book, which began as an essay in defence of a particular painter, had branched forth in many directions, with something of the Dryad's waywardness and though firmly rooted all the while in strong and definite principles, yet his Opinions on particular schools and masters weie growing, now in this direction, and now in that, while new subjects Of inquiry Opened out on every side.
