See photos.** PS2023.0720** 208 pages. 5.25 x 8.25 inches** Three works of art criticism and commentary by John Ruskin (1819-1900). Included is his 1851 essay "Pre-Raphaelitism," by "the author of Modern Painters," as he described himself. Modern Painters (1843) had been largely devoted to discussion and defense of the painter J.M.W. Turner, whose work is the subject of the second part. Ruskin's view, that the principal role of the artist was "truth to nature," was a tenet of 19th century Romanticism.** "Postage for oversized and international shipping will be calculated by size and weight.
