Ruskin's revision to the Rudimentary series (1878)
remains 175.Rizpah the daughter of Aiah. As the former example is the noblest piece of work, so this touches the highest range of emotion felt by the Painter in its design. It finally expresses the temper of Turner’s own mind - infinite sadness for the passing away of all that he had loved, and his own work only the guarding of its relics. Any stranger passing through the Rooms should at once cross from this cabinet to that containing Educational 251-275. which are chosen examples for the advanced student of the best Plates of the Liber in their best state - twelve of them with their twelve etchings complete , and the thirteenth etching - 263- of the unpublished plate of the Pass of St. Gothard - the grandest piece of rock-drawing, I suppose, in the world. The “Rudimentary” Series proceeds now, more or less de R. scribed, to its close.
