산간 급류 위의 오래된 다리 by John Ruskin, 1844-49

John Ruskin, the famous art critic and champion of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, put his brush where his mouth was with this lively watercolor sketch. Created during his extensive travels in the Alps between 1844 and 1849, the piece captures a rugged stone bridge battling a rushing mountain torrent. Notice the frantic pencil scribbles beneath the washes of blue and green? That's Ruskin's signature 'truth to nature' style, obsessively recording every crack in the masonry and ripple in the water because he believed artists should paint exactly what they see, not some idealized version.
