EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Baptistery, Florence: Study of the upper Part of the right-hand Compartment" a remarkable piece created by John Ruskin in June 1872. The artwork, composed using watercolour and bodycolour over graphite on wove paper, measures 52x34.6 cm and is currently housed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK. Ruskin's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this study of the south-west façade's upper portion. The artist masterfully captures the essence of this religious landmark with its distinct green hue and intricate architectural features. The baptistery's medieval charm shines through as it stands proudly against a backdrop of white clouds. This Romanesque structure, dating back to the 11th century, holds immense historical significance within Italian ecclesiastical architecture. Its polychrome exterior adds vibrancy to its already awe-inspiring presence. As one gazes upon this image, they are transported to Florence itself – a city known for its rich artistic heritage. Ruskin's portrayal not only highlights his exceptional talent but also serves as a testament to his deep appreciation for Western art and architecture. Through his brushstrokes, he immortalizes the beauty and grandeur that define Florentine culture. As we admire this extraordinary photograph from Fine Art Finder courtesy of Bridgeman Images, let us marvel at how art has the power to capture moments frozen in time – allowing us glimpses into history that would otherwise be
