John Ruskin is a portrait of the leading Victorian art critic John Ruskin (1819–1900).[1][2][3] It was painted by the Pre-Raphaelite artist John Everett Millais (1829–1896) during 1853–54. John Ruskin was an early advocate of the Pre-Raphaelite group of artists and part of their success was due to his efforts.
The painting depicts Ruskin in front of a waterfall in Glenfinlas, Scotland. Ruskin and Millais spent the summer of 1853 together at Glenfinlas in the Trossachs.[4] Ruskin was especially interested in the rock formations and undertook his own studies of these.
