Ruskin's revision to the Rudimentary series (1878)
Now 300 299.The last but one of our Rudimentary Series; an entirely consummate sketch of by Turner of a Landscape Composition, at the period of the Liber Studorium, but not intended for it; the drawings of the Liber being all of the proper size for the Book. It is impossible to see more done with the pen and sepia, or to find a better example of wild grace in vegetation. I prized this Drawing as one of my very chief Turner-treasures, and hope that Oxford will also, one day, be proud of it. Nothing can rival it but the work of Florence herself.
