"Rochers de Lanfon, Lake Annecy, c.1860" is a watercolor painting by the prominent English art critic, draughtsman, watercolorist, and social thinker John Ruskin (1819–1900). Created around 1860, the artwork captures the serene beauty of the French Alps as seen from the shores of Lake Annecy, with a particular focus on the rock formations known as the "Rochers de Lanfon." This piece is part of Ruskin's extensive body of work that includes both written and visual art, through which he explored nature, art, and architecture.

The painting is characterized by Ruskin's meticulous attention to detail and his profound appreciation for natural landscapes, which he believed were a direct manifestation of divine design. In "Rochers de Lanfon, Lake Annecy," Ruskin employs delicate watercolor techniques to render the interplay of light and shadow on the rugged mountain peaks, while also capturing the tranquil waters of the lake with subtle gradations of color. The composition reflects Ruskin's skill in conveying the grandeur of the natural world and his commitment to realism, which he championed in his writings as a critic.

John Ruskin's travels across Europe, particularly in France, Switzerland, and Italy, greatly influenced his artistic output. His experiences in the Alps, including the region around Lake Annecy, were instrumental in shaping his thoughts on the relationship between art and nature. The painting not only showcases Ruskin's artistic talents but also serves as a visual complement to his extensive literary contributions, which include works such as "Modern Painters" and "The Stones of Venice."

As a notable figure in the Victorian era, Ruskin's influence extended beyond the arts to encompass social and environmental issues. His ideas on the preservation of natural and built heritage continue to resonate today. "Rochers de Lanfon, Lake Annecy, c.1860" is a testament to Ruskin's enduring legacy as an artist who sought to capture the essence of the world around him and to inspire a deeper appreciation for the beauty and complexity of nature.

The painting is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in galleries that focus on 19th-century British art. It is often studied within the context of Ruskin's broader impact on the visual arts and his role in shaping the discourse on aesthetics and conservation during the 19th century.
