Ruskin Monument, Monument by Derwentwater in Keswick, England.
The Ruskin Monument features a bronze medallion profile of John Ruskin set within a monolithic block of Borrowdale stone at Friars Crag.
The monument was inaugurated on October 6, 1900, through the efforts of Hardwicke Rawnsley to commemorate the life of art critic John Ruskin.
The Chi-Rho symbol and inscriptions from Deucalion and Modern Painters are engraved on the stone, reflecting Ruskin's artistic and literary contributions.
Visitors can reach the monument by following the path along Derwentwater from Keswick town center to Friars Crag viewpoint.
The lettering on the monument uses Ruskin's dot and dash drawing style, designed by W G Collingwood to match the art critic's technique.
