Download or read book John Ruskin written by James S. Dearden and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1999-10-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite professing a dislike of having his portrait taken, John Ruskin's footsteps were dogged by portrait painters, sculptors, caricaturists and photographers from the cradle to the grave and beyond. A thoroughly accessible book it lists and describes some 331likenesses made between 1822 and 1998. The three introductory chapters to this book survey Ruskin portraiture and the portraits, his general physical appearance througout his life, his hands, his mouth, his various illnesses and their effect on his appearance, his clothes, style of dress, size, tailors, their bills, etc. These opening chapters include many descriptions and reminiscences by Ruskin's friends and acquaintances, and those who portrayed him. The principal part of the book deals with the individual portraits, their history, where and why they were made, what Ruskin was doing at that time of his life and what his connection was with the artists in question. He was portrayed so regularly that this section is also effectively a potted Ruskin biography, based on the portraits. A 'catalogue raisonne' of the Ruskin portraits follows where the physical details of the works are listed, together with details of reproductions, exhibitions and provenance.

Book Carrying Off the Palaces

Download or read book Carrying Off the Palaces written by Ken Jacobson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiration for this book was a remarkable discovery made by the authors at a small country auction in 2006. One lightly regarded lot was a distressed mahogany box crammed with long-lost early photographs. These daguerreotypes were later confirmed as once belonging to John Ruskin, the great 19th-century art critic, writer, artist and social reformer. Moreover, the many scenes of Italy, France and Switzerland included the largest collection of daguerreotypes of Venice in the world and probably the earliest surviving photographs of the Alps. 00Core to this book is a fully illustrated catalogue raisonné of the 325 known John Ruskin daguerreotypes. The overwhelming majority of the newly-discovered plates are published here for the first time. There are an additional 276 illustrations in the text and an essay describing the technical procedures used in conserving Ruskin’s photographs. Ten chapters extensively study Ruskin’s photographic endeavours. A chronology, glossary, twenty-page bibliography and comprehensive index complete this handsome hardback book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ruskin on Pictures, Vol. 1: A Collection of Criticisms by John Ruskin Not Heretofore Re-Printed and Now Re-Edited and Re-Arranged Many of Mr. Ruskin's scattered pamphlets and other occasional writings have already been collected in the three volumes published in 1885 under the title "On the Old Road." His letters to the Public Press have similarly been collected in the two volumes of "Arrows of the Chace" (1880). His Catalogues and other Notes on Modem Pictures have not hitherto been collected. This is the work undertaken in the present volumes. The first volume is devoted to Turner; the second to Prout, William Hunt, and "Academy Notes." The present volume, dealing with Turner, is divided into three sections, of which the first two contain Notes by Mr. Ruskin on the works by Turner in the National Gallery. The third section consists of a reprint of "Notes by Mr. Ruskin on his Drawings by Turner, and on his own Handiwork illustrative of Turner." In the first two sections, dealing with Turner at the National Gallery, Mr. Ruskin's Notes in four different catalogues are included. Of these, one was only printed for private circulation, and two have been out of print for more than forty years. The object aimed at in the arrangement of this volume is to make it available, among other purposes, for use in the Gallery itself. This object has governed the manner in which the text of Mr. Ruskin's catalogues has been treated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
