1844

An early painting by John Ruskin, who was an art critic as well as an artist. He advised painters to go directly to nature, 'rejecting nothing, selecting nothing'. This scene of Zermatt, Switzerland, is a carefully recorded view. Ruskin visited Switzerland in the summer of 1844 with his parents.
