Delivered at Oxford in the Lent term of 1871, these three lectures set out John Ruskin’s teaching on landscape painting under the heads of outline, light and shade, and colour. He ranges across the old masters and Turner, asking what each painter saw, what instincts warped his vision, and how a student should learn to draw from nature.

A concise entry into Ruskin’s thinking on art, ideal for painters and anyone who loves landscape. Download the free EPUB.
