Ruskin's Politics (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Ruskin's Politics There have been very few men, I think, in whom our manifold nature has been more marked than in Ruskin. If you go round this Exhibition, you will find several portraits exhibited as portraits of Ruskin, but it is surprising what a number of other people they are portraits of. Somewhere behind me on that wall, there is a bronze dish, and on that bronze a portrait of Ruskin in profile. That is one of the most remarkable portraits in the Exhibition, because whatever its merits may be as a portrait of Ruskin - and probably some of you will have said on seeing it, 'That is not very like the Ruskin we are familiar with, ' - it is not at all a bad portrait of Mozart. Almost all the genuine portraits of Mozart are profiles. No doubt some of you have been taken in by the usual music-shop portrait of a handsome young nobleman who was a contemporary of Mozart.
