This influential art criticism began as a defense of painter J.M.W. Turner, arguing that modern landscape artists surpassed the old masters through accurate documentation of nature. Ruskin explores symbolism, natural forces, and atmospheric effects while developing his theory that art should capture both surface details and deeper truths. His ideas profoundly influenced the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and Victorian aesthetic thought. (This is an automatically generated summary.) UR - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/31623 ER -
