| An American Pre-Rafaelite or Naturalist artist, Robert J. Pattison was
a landscape painter influenced in his painting by Thomas Farrer, an
English expatriate artist who in turn was influenced by John Ruskin,
one of the founders in England of the Pre-Rafaelites. These
painters were committed to the study of nature as the basis for art,
and to the return to "pure" art such as that painted in Italy before
Raffaello Sanzio Raphael (1483-1520) injected 'grandeur' into what
Ruskin perceiv (showing 500 of 1335 characters). |
