Ruskin Museum, Coniston, Cumbria
Coniston's museum, exhibiting much material from john ruskin's life and work, along with other items relevant to Coniston. Includes a section on Donald Campbell and Bluebird.
http://www.ruskinmuseum.com/

Extractions: There has been a Ruskin Museum in Coniston since 1901, when W.G. Collingwood, a local artist and antiquarian who had been Ruskin's secretary, set it up both as a memorial to Ruskin and a celebration of the area's heritage. Therefore, although the museum has a Ruskin collection, there are also exhibits relating to the coppermines, slate, geology, lace, farming and Donald Campbell. The museum was extended in 1999 with the help of a Heritage Lottery grant; additional building with modern design-work, computer displays, and hands-on exhibits have transformed the look of the two galleries. The Ruskin Museum won an Interpret Britain award in 2000 and a commendation in the Civic Trust awards for 2001. Inspiring as well as educational, the museum has additional folders of information to complement the collection. There really is something for everyone !

Extractions: Or search the encyclopaedia: Ruskin, John English art and social critic. Much of his finest art criticism appeared in two widely influential works, Modern Painters The Seven Lamps of Architecture (1849). He was a keen advocate of painters considered unorthodox at the time, such as J M W Turner and members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood . His later writings were concerned with social and economic problems. Ruskin was one of the major figures of 19th-century British intellectual life. Like his contemporaries Thomas Carlyle and Matthew Arnold Gothic Revival had a profound effect on Victorian art, architecture, and crafts. From these aesthetic concerns he increasingly drew social and moral views, and from the 1860s he devoted himself to political and economic problems, condemning laissez-faire economics, and extolling both the dignity of labour and the moral and aesthetic value of

Extractions: Ruskin, John Ruskin, John, , English critic and social theorist. During the mid-19th cent. Ruskin was the virtual dictator of artistic opinion in England, but Ruskin's reputation declined after his death, and he has been treated harshly by 20th-century critics. Although it is undeniable that he was an extravagant and inconsistent thinker (a reflection of his lifelong mental and emotional instability), it is equally true that he revolutionized art criticism and wrote some of the most superb prose in the English language.

Extractions: Who Was Ruskin? Who Was Ruskin The Ruskin Gallery The Coniston Gallery Linen and Lace ... Links to other Sites John Ruskin (1819-1900) was one of the greatest Victorians; his range of interests and achievements were quite staggering. He was an artist, art critic, amateur geologist, a teacher, writer, social critic and philosopher. He thought that it was fundamental to make links between all subjects and disciplines - for example, science and religion; nature and art. Somehow he could always see the whole picture. Leo Tolstoy said that Ruskin was: "one of those rare men who think with their hearts." John James, a hard-working wine and sherry merchant with the firm of Ruskin, Telford and Domecq, diluted his son's religious teaching with literature - notably Byron and Walter Scott. His ambitions for his son meant that he was prepared to spend money on tutors for Art and the Classics, and to buy him a place at Oxford University . John James would have liked his son to be a poet; Margaret thought he could become Archbishop of Canterbury. They were both well aware that they had a budding genius for a son. The three of them went travelling through Britain and Europe, during which time Ruskin kept diaries and made sketchbooks. He described his first views of the Alps as a kind of revelation - he felt that God, the natural world and his future life were all set before him in those awesome surroundings.
John Ruskin
Brief biography of john ruskin, from the Victorian Station.
http://www.victorianstation.com/authorruskin.htm

Extractions: John Ruskin John Ruskin, the greatest Victorian bar Victoria, was an artist, scientist, poet, environmentalist, philosopher, and, importantly here, the pre-eminent art critic of his time. He provided the impetus that gained respectability for the Pre-Raphaelites. Ruskin's letter to The Times in 1851, supporting the much-derided Pre-Raphaelites for their naturalism and truth to nature, marked a turning point in their perception by the public. In a second letter, he wrote that the Pre-Raphaelites might "lay the foundation of a school of art nobler than the world has seen for 300 years." When, after this, Ruskin met the Pre-Raphaelites, he encouraged them in their ideals, acting as tutor, mentor, and generous supporter to Rossetti, Millais and Holman Hunt, as well as later artists in a similar spirit such as John Brett and John William Inchbold. He was a long-time friend of the children's illustrator Kate Greenaway, and also of the bird-painter H. S. Marks. Ruskin taught Pre-Raphaelite style drawing at the Working Men's College in London for some years, enlisting Rossetti to teach figure and watercolor painting, and afterwards Ford Madox Brown to fill the same position. Afterwards, he left London, becoming Slade Professor of Art at Oxford (where there is an art college named after him) and then removing to the Lake District where he helped to start the Environmental Movement.

Extractions: Encyclopedia Ruskin, John The first volume of Ruskin's Modern Painters The Seven Lamps of Architecture (1849) applied these same theories to architecture. In 1848, Ruskin married Euphemia Gray, a beautiful young woman with social ambitions; the union, which apparently was never consummated, was annulled in 1854, and Mrs. Ruskin subsequently married the painter John Everett Millais. From his position as the foremost English art critic, Ruskin in 1851 defended the work of the Pre-Raphaelite group. His third great volume of criticism, The Stones of Venice Unto This Last (in Cornhill Magazine, 1860) and Munera Pulveris (in Fraser's Magazine, Ruskin's positive program for social reform appeared in Sesame and Lilies The Crown of Wild Olive Time and Tide (1867), and

http://68.1911encyclopedia.org/R/RU/RUSKIN_JOHN.htm

Extractions: RUSKIN, JOHN His first letter is dated 1823,. when he was only four. In it he corrects his aunt, who had put up the wooden pillars of his Waterloo bridge upside down. At five he was a bookworm. At seven he began. a work in four volumes, with copper-plates printed and composed by a little boy, and also drawn. His first poem, correct in rhyme and form, was written before he was seven. At nine he began Eudosia, a poem of the Universe. From that year until his Newdigate Prize, at the age of twenty, he wrote enormous quantities of verse, and began dramas, romances and imitations of Byron, Pope, Scott and Shelley. What remain. of these effusions have no special quality except good sense, refined feeling, accuracy of phrase, and a curious correctness of accent and rhythm. Of true poetry in the higher sense there is hardly a single line. On the 10th of April 1848, a day famous in the history of Chartism, Ruskin was married at Perth to Euphemia Chalmers Gray, a lady of great beauty, of a family long intimate with the Ruskins. The marriage, we are told, was arranged by the parents of the pair, and was a somewhat hurried act. It was evidently ill-assorted, and brought no happiness to either. They travelled, lived in London, saw society, and attended a Drawing-room at Buckingham Palace. But Ruskin, immersed in various studies and projects, was no husband for a brilliant woman devoted to society. No particulars of their life have been made public. In 1854 his wife left him, obtained a nullification of the marriage under Scots law, and ultimately became the wife of John Everett Millais. John Ruskin returned to his parents, with whom he resided till their death; and neither his marriage nor the annulling of it seems to have affected seriously his literary career.
