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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painters, Vol. 3 of 5 It may perhaps be thought that, considering the not very elaborate structure of the following volumes, they might have been finished sooner. But it will be found, on reflection, that the ranges of inquiry engaged in demanded, even for their slight investigation, time and pains which are quite unrepresented in the result. It often required a week or two's hard walking to deter mine some geological problem, now dismissed in an unnoticed sentence; and it constantly needed examina tion and thought, prolonged during many days in the picture gallery, to form opinions which the reader may suppose to be dictated by caprice, and will hear only to dispute.

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.

Download or read book The Complete Works of John Ruskin Vol 5 written by John Ruskin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 982 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Works of John Ruskin, Vol. 5: Modern Painters, Volumes IV and V Several of the plates appear, in their present position, nearly unnecessary; 14 and 15, for instance, in Vol. III. These are illustrations of the chapters on the Firmament in the fifth vol. Ume but I should have had the plates disproportionately crowded at last, if I had put all that it needed in that volume and as these two bear somewhat on various matters spoken of in the third, I placed them where they are first alluded to. The frontispiece has chief reference to the same chapters but seemed, in its three divisions, properly introductory to our whole subject. It is a simple sketch from nature, taken at sun set from the hills near Como, some two miles up the eastern side of the lake and about a thousand feet above it, looking towards Lugano. The sky is a little too heavy for the advantage of the landscape below but I am not answerable for the sky. It was there.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painters, Vol. 5: Completing the Work and Containing Parts Vi and VII-of Leaf Beauty-of Cloud Beauty; Parts VIII and IX-of Ideas of Relation: 1. Of Invention Formal, 2. Of Invention Spiritual In other respects also the section on the sea was' wholly um satisfactory to me: I knew little of ships, nothing of blue Open water. Turner's pathetic interest in the sea, and his inexhaustible knowledge Of shipping, deserved more complete and accurate illustration than was at all possible to me and the mathematical difficulty lay at the beginning Of all demon stration of facts. I determined to do this piece Of work well, or not at all, and threw the proposed section out Of this vol ume. If I ever am able to do what I want with it (and this is barely probable), it will be a separate book; which, on other accounts, I do not regret, since many persons might be interested in studies of the shipping Of the Old Nelson times, and of the sea-waves and sailor character Of all times, who would not care to encumber themselves with five volumes Of a work on Art.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painters, Vol. 3: Of Many Things The first and second volumes were written to check, as far as I could, the attacks upon Turner which prevented the public from honouring his genius, at the time when his power was greatest. The check was partially given, but too late; Turner was seized by painful illness not long after the second volume appeared; his works, towards the close of the year 1845, showed a conclusive failure of power; and I saw that nothing remained for me to write, but his epitaph.

WW tance of Claude with any of the essential characters of nature. But although in his better pict. Ures we have always beautiful drawing of the air, which in the copy before us is entirely wanting, the real features of the extreme mountain distance are equally neglected or maligned in all. There is, indeed, air be tween us and it; but ten miles, not seventy miles of space. Let us observe a little more closely the practice of nature in such cases.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painters, Vol. 3 Man's use and function (and let him who will not grant me this follow me no farther, for this I purpose always to assume) is to be the witness of the glory of God, and to advance that glory by his reasonable obedience and resultant happiness. Whatever enables us to fulfil this function, is in the pure and first sense of the word useful to us. Pre-eminently therefore whatever sets the glory of God more brightly before us. But things that only help us to exist, are in a secondary and mean sense, useful, or rather, if they be looked for alone, they are useless and worse, for it would be better that we should not exist, than ma; u 3 should guiltily disappoint the purposes of existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painters, Vol. 1 Whatever I have asserted throughout the work, I have endeavored to ground altogether on demonstrations which must stand or fall by their own strength, and which ought to involve no more reference to authority or character than a demonstration in Euclid. Yet it is proper for the public to know, that the writer is no mere theorist, but has been devoted from his youth to the laborious study of practical art. Whatever has been generally affirmed of the old schools of landscape-painting is founded on familiar acquaintance with every important work of art, from Antwerp to Naples. But it would be useless, where close and immediate compari son with works in our own Academy is desirable, to refer to the details of pictures at Rome or Munich and it would be impossible to speak at once with just feeling, as regarded the possessor, and just freedom, as regarded the public, of pict ures in private galleries.
