- W129837852 abstract "In the first volume of Modern Painters (1843), Ruskin takes an interest in marine art and particularly the marine art of Turner. It is worth mentioning the content of a section of this volume, «Of Truth of Water», in which the writer offers his first extensive account of the aquatic theme, and one which he would bear in mind in later years. As one might expect of a section which simultaneously refers to Canaletto and Turner, it is a heterogeneous work in tone and style. There are many aspects one could consider; the text can be read in terms of science, in terms of myth, in spiritual terms or in terms of Turner. More specifically, Ruskin in his account would refer to both the physical and the metaphysical connotations of water, often read in relation to his favourite painter’s works. Whilst Ruskin more openly discusses the science of water (as in his early writings) than its moral implications, I would argue that both domains are employed in Modern Painters I in the same way: they are compact subjects, connected entities that refer outwardly and inwardly to the multiple and associative symbols of the aquatic theme. Both the physical (the visible, concrete things which relate to the laws of nature, of water in this case) and the metaphysical (what lies beyond that, our understanding of both its existence and significance) are never used casually, but are always loaded with personal, intrinsic meanings. Science and spirituality remained constant areas of tension in Ruskin’s philosophy and, as this study will show, they are always related and often applied to the art world, without which his work(s) could have not taken shape. One of Ruskin’s intentions in the first volume of Modern Painters was to focus on water. He divided «Of Truth of Water» into three important and connected chapters: the first entitled «Water, as painted by the Ancients», the second «Water, as painted by the Moderns» and the last called «Water, as painted by Turner». However, realising the limitations of his expertise as a man of science, Ruskin immediately feared the incomplete-" @default.
