JOHN BRETT

Val d'Aosta (1858)


No.5

John Brett 1831-1902 was a British artist associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. It was John Ruskin the art critic who persuaded him to go to Italy and paint the Val d'Aosta; today's painting was the result and Ruskin was so pleased with the result that he bought it.
