Of which painters work did Ruskin say - 'The loveliest ever done by man in imagery of the physical world'.

Possibly ...Giotto .

Thank you. I haven't been able to find anything.

Ruskin did "The Grand Tour" in Italy and he was much taken with Florence and Giotto's work in particular ...if I can find a definite link I will get back to you.

Thanks very much.

Having said that he did waffle a lot about various artists and Turner was another favourite of his ..but again can't find anything definite ....sorry .
