* Ruskin (John, 1819-1900, circle of). The Matterhorn from near Zermatt, pastel, black charcoal, and pencil, heightened with bodycolour, of the Matterhorn, with a cottage and figures in the foreground, including a peasant woman collecting water from a stream, indistinct pencilled initials to lower right-hand corner, 357 x 507mm (14 x 20ins), mounted, framed and glazed. Inscribed in manuscript on the verso of the frame: ‘Bought July 1956 of Mr. Telford of Grasmere who bought at the sale of effects at Brantwood pictures and sketches some by John Ruskin. J.A. Holland’. Ruskin’s affinity with Alpine scenery in general, and the Matterhorn in particular, is well documented. In one respect he was an Alpine pioneer, not as a climber, but as one who encouraged a widespread love and understanding of Alpine scenery. He was the first to draw the Matterhorn accurately, and apparently the first to photograph it too. When, in 1844, Ruskin made his first sketch of the majestic mountain which he then supposed to be the Matterhorn, it was some thirteen years before the founding of the Alpine Club in London, around thirteen years before any serious attempt was made to climb the Matterhorn, and twenty-one years before its summit was gained by Edward Whymper. Ruskin’s painstakingly precise, yet romantically atmospheric, images of the Matterhorn were to spawn a host of paintings of the great mountain amongst his circle, students and followers. (1)
