Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Work of John Ruskin, Vol. 2 of 2 "He was forty before he talked of any mission from Heaven." - The Hero as Prophet. "In this way he has lived till past forty; old age is now in view of him, and the earnest portal of death and eternity." - The Hero as King. Carlyle. At forty years of age Mr. Ruskin finished Modern Painters, and concluded the whole cycle of work by which he is popularly known as a writer on art. Since then, art has sometimes been his text, rarely his theme. He has used it as the opportunity, the vehicle, so to say, for teachings of far wider range and deeper import; teachings about life as a whole, conclusions in ethics and economics and religion, to which he seeks to lead others, as he was led, by the way of art. And in this later period, when he does speak of art in especial, the greater range of his inquiry naturally modifies his aim and standpoint; just as, in a vast wall-painting, the detail is viewed and treated otherwise than when it formed the subject of separate still-life studies. Some observers prefer the still-life; and indeed it may be good work. But the broad treatment is the greater.
