Autorenporträt
John Ruskin (1819-1900) was an English art critic, social thinker, poet, and artist, whose work had far-reaching impacts on the Victorian and Edwardian eras. He was a prolific writer, penning a significant number of essays and books on subjects ranging from art criticism to geology, architecture, myth, ornithology, literature, education, botany, and political economy. Notably, his work 'The Eagle's Nest' in the field of art instruction reflects Ruskin's commitment to the integration of teaching art and science as interconnected disciplines. His impassioned critiques and writing style contributed to the Victorian gothic revival and helped shape aesthetic discourse. Ruskin's style combined rich descriptions, moral earnestness, and at times, a prophetic tone, which was highly influential and evocative, granting him a distinguished place in the pantheon of British literature and thought. His writing not only critiqued art but vehemently campaigned for social and environmental causes, anticipating key themes in modern conservation and social justice movements. As a luminary of the nineteenth century, Ruskin's influence extended to the likes of Mahatma Gandhi, Marcel Proust, William Morris, and Frank Lloyd Wright. His contributions across multiple fields of inquiry render him not merely a writer, but a cultural sage who sought through his diverse talents to better understand and improve the world around him.
