About this book
Creators: John Ruskin (1819-1900) "Modern Painters, Volume 5 (of 5)" by John Ruskin is the final volume of a five-part work published in 1860. Ruskin began this ambitious project at age 24 to defend landscape painter J. M. W. Turner and argue that modern artists surpassed the old masters in depicting nature. This concluding volume marks the end of a formative period in Ruskin's life, shaped profoundly by his father's influence, completing a journey that championed accurate documentation of nature and explored symbolism through the natural world.
