Not on viewWeb CommentaryArtist, author, and critic John Ruskin was a vital figure in the rediscovery of late medieval painters such as Fra Angelico and Giotto, artists whom Isabella Stewart Gardner also admired and collected. Gardner owned his germinal series The Stones of Venice and shelved it in the museum’s Short Gallery nearby one of Ruskin’s drawings, The Casa Loredan, Venice (1850). This photograph would have been used in the nineteenth century as a calling card (known as a carte de visite).
