The Head of a Kite, from Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolor print by John Ruskin, showcasing his exceptional talent as an artist. Created between August and September 1870, this exquisite piece measures 17.6x25.7 cm and is now housed in the eAshmolean Museum. In this detailed artwork, Ruskin focuses on the head of a kite, one of nature's most majestic birds of prey. The intricate brushstrokes and delicate use of bodycolor over graphite on pale brown wove paper bring out every fine detail with remarkable precision. The profile view allows us to appreciate the bird's sharp beak, piercing eyes, and regal plumage up close. Ruskin's mastery in capturing these features evokes a sense of awe for the beauty and power inherent in these creatures. This stunning print transports us back to the 19th century when naturalist art was at its peak. Ruskin's ability to breathe life into his subjects through watercolors is truly commendable. "The Head of a Kite" serves as a testament to both Ruskin's artistic prowess and his deep appreciation for nature's wonders. It reminds us that even within seemingly ordinary subjects lies extraordinary beauty waiting to be discovered. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are reminded once again why John Ruskin remains an influential figure in the world of art even today.
