John Ruskin (London, February 8, 1819 - Coniston, January 20, 1900) was an influential writer, art critic, and British social reformer of the 19th century. His work covers a wide range of subjects, including art, architecture, and political economy.

Among his most notable works are "Modern Painters" (1843-1860), a defense of contemporary landscape painting; "The Seven Lamps of Architecture" (1849), where he establishes fundamental principles of architecture; and "The Stones of Venice" (1851-1853), a deep analysis of Venetian architecture. Additionally, "Sesame and Lilies" (1865) and "The Bible of Amiens" (1880-1885) reflect his interest in literature and history.
