Modern Painters, Volume 2John Ruskin was the most influential art critic during the Victorian period. His five volume book Modern Painters was written in opposition against art critics who were opposed to the paintings of J.M.W. Turner. Ruskin was a collector of Turner's works and the two were friends. In his writings, Ruskin was a harsh critic towards classical art, and believe that the landscape paintings of Turner and others demonstrated a superior understanding of "truth." |

Página 192 - Branchless and blasted, clenched with grasping roots The unwilling soil. A gradual change was here Yet ghastly.
