The aim of this article is to propose a vision
of the value that John Ruskin attributed to
art and images. To this end, more than his
facet as an art critic, I will consider his work
as an amateur artist and art teacher in order
to present the intrinsic values of the works
produced by the classic arts (for the purposes

also discuss the value and use that Ruskin
attributed to photography, a medium that
was a child of the 19th century and was widely
discussed as belonging to the arts. In
doing this, I will briefly outline some of the
pillars of his aesthetic and critical theory, indiscernibly

work as a drawing teacher, together with his
considerations of photography
