EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Ruskin's "Study of a Panel on the Font of the Baptistery, Pisa" from 1872. The artwork, created with watercolor and bodycolor over graphite on paper, measures 51.5x30.6 cm and is housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK. Ruskin's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this study, as he explores every intricate aspect of the panel. The decorative arts come alive through his brushstrokes, revealing an ornate and beautifully adorned stoup or baptismal font. The artist captures not only its physical appearance but also its spiritual significance by incorporating elements of benediction and blessing into his composition. The drawing transports us to Pisa, Italy, where this magnificent baptistery resides within Tuscany's Province of Pisa. Ruskin's work allows us to appreciate both Italian craftsmanship and European artistry during this period. As we delve into this piece further, we are drawn to the mesmerizing patterns that adorn the font's surface—a testament to Ruskin's keen eye for design. His ability to capture these intricate details invites us to marvel at their beauty while contemplating their historical context. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we can now explore this exquisite artwork from afar and immerse ourselves in Ruskin's world—where art meets spirituality—and witness his profound appreciation for both English and Italian culture during the late nineteenth century.
