Ruskin began this work in 1843, shortly after leaving Oxford, offering it as a defense of J. M. W. Turner. The fifth and final volume was published in 1860, and it represented the last of his works on art per se; his attention was subsequently turned more toward industrial problems, education, morals and religion.
