Summary: "Modern Painters, Volume 3 (of 5)" by John Ruskin is a comprehensive treatise on art, authored during the mid-19th century. The volume explores various aspects of painting, focusing particularly on the nature of artistic expression, beauty, and truth in relation to the works of celebrated artists such as J.M.W. Turner. Ruskin engages with the concept of the "Grand Style" in painting and addresses the contrasts between different artistic schools, aiming to provide insights into how art connects with human emotions and moral truths. At the start of the work, Ruskin lays the groundwork by reviewing his previous discussions concerning the pleasures and outputs of art. He emphasizes his intention to explore the "Grand Style," which he contrasts with realistic or lower forms of art. He articulates the enduring debate regarding what constitutes greatness in art, questioning notions of "High Art" versus "Low Art." This opening portion establishes both the philosophical framework and critical lens through which Ruskin intends to analyze the contributions of artists, particularly focusing on their ability to evoke deep emotional experiences and convey noble truths through their work.
