John Ruskin (British 1819-1900)
John Ruskin (British 1819-1900) "The Roman Arch at Susa in Piedmont" c. 1830s/40s or later traces of graphite with black and white gouache on gray paper unsigned 6 1/4 in. x 6 1/2 in. on a decorated French mat hinged to a modern mount. Provenance: George Dicks; Durlacher New York 1956; James R. Lamantia Jr. New Orleans and New York. Note: The Arch at Susa (9-8 B. C.) in the Piedmontese foothills of the Mont-Cenis Pass was erected early in the sequence of Imperial arches to commemorate the alliance between Augustus and Julius Cottius for whom the surrounding Cottian Alps are named-and which press close on this tiny town in Ruskin's sketch. The structure's simple basic form is well represented in Ruskin's admirable (and very dramatic) drawing: the uncompromisingly plain arch with its undecorated vault is framed on each façade only by a pair of engaged Corinthian columns supporting a simple entablature with a continuous frieze below an attic that is perhaps disproportionately low (and which Ruskin tactfully allows to run off the top of his sheet thus implying its greater height). The arch's one embellishment is the celebrated frieze that memorably marks Augustus' early alliance: Ruskin beautifully catches its tribal warriors and sacrificial animals with strong highlights only on their lower anatomies thus minimizing the damage to the weathered modillions above. The young artist probably crossed the Mont-Cenis with his parents in 1835 en route to his first experience of Venice; several other Continental journeys followed in quick succession especially a Italian long sojourn in 1840-1841. This fine sheet may date at any time in those early decades or even later-concentrating as it does on his two principal passions those of monumental architecture and unusual topography.
