  • Résumé : "The Life of John Ruskin" by W.G. Collingwood offers an in-depth exploration of the early years of John Ruskin, a prominent figure in art criticism and social thought. Born in 1819 in London to Scottish parents, Ruskin's upbringing was heavily influenced by his Scottish heritage, which shaped his intellectual and cultural development. His early education was conducted at home under the guidance of his mother, who instilled in him a love for literature and the Bible. Ruskin's childhood was marked by annual summer tours across Britain, which ignited his passion for nature and landscapes, particularly the mountains. These experiences were pivotal in forming his later work as an art critic and writer. Ruskin's early attempts at writing included poetry and prose inspired by his travels and readings. His exposure to the works of Turner through Rogers' "Italy" was a significant turning point, leading him to admire and later defend Turner's art. Despite his precocious talent, Ruskin's education was somewhat unconventional, with private tutors like Dr. Andrews and Mr. Rowbotham providing instruction in Latin, Greek, and mathematics. His artistic journey began with drawing lessons from Mr. Runciman, which laid the foundation for his future endeavors in art criticism. Throughout his formative years, Ruskin's writings reflected a deep appreciation for the sublime in nature, a theme that would dominate his later works. His early experiences and education, combined with his innate curiosity and passion for art and nature, set the stage for his influential career. Collingwood's biography not only chronicles Ruskin's early life but also provides insight into the cultural and familial influences that shaped one of the 19th century's most significant thinkers.
