John Ruskin (1819-1900) was a prominent English art critic, social thinker, and philanthropist, known for his influential writings on art and architecture. He played a crucial role in the Victorian art world, advocating for the appreciation of nature and the importance of craftsmanship. His notable works include "Modern Painters," where he championed the works of J.M.W. Turner, and "The Stones of Venice," which explored the relationship between architecture and society. Ruskin's later writings, such as "Fors Clavigera," reflect his deep concern for social issues and the welfare of workers. His legacy continues to impact art criticism and social thought.
