This is a reproduction of “View of Amalfi” of 1844 by John Ruskin.  This artist is better known for his art criticism and social thinking and for the influence that he had on the Victorian Era in Britain. His support for Naturalism and the Pre-Raphaelite movement in art were instrumental in their acceptance.  His first publication was at the age of fifteen and nine years later he published the first volume of Modern Painters in 1843.  This became one of his most important works out of the over two hundred fifty works that were published.  He died in 1900 in Creteil, France.
