abstract

On 22 March 1877 John Ruskin wrote from Venice to his cousin Joan Severn: “I’ve just done up the nicest little explosive torpedo I’ve ever concocted, to my own mind; and am in good hope of pitching it into the Academy of Venice, and the general Artistic Mind, for an Easter Egg. – I’m licking my lips over it considerable”. The device in question was the first part of the Guide to the Principal Pictures in the Academy of Fine Arts at Venice, republished here in the original language, together with its sequel, for the first time in over a hundred years.
