"John Ruskin" is an oil painting by Sir John Everett Millais, completed in 1853-1854, which depicts the prominent Victorian art critic and social thinker of the same name. Millais was one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics, which was formed in 1848 in opposition to the prevailing academic standards of art. The portrait is significant for its detailed rendering of the natural environment, which reflects Ruskin's own interest in nature and his theories about the importance of truth to nature in art.

The painting shows Ruskin standing beside a torrent in Glenfinlas, Scotland, during a trip that Millais took with Ruskin and his wife Effie Gray in 1853. The work is noted for its fine detail, including the depiction of the rocks, water, and flora, which Millais painted from life, adhering to the Pre-Raphaelite principles of close observation. The portrait is also notable for its association with the personal lives of the individuals involved, as Effie Gray's marriage to Ruskin was annulled in 1854, and she subsequently married Millais.

"John Ruskin" by Millais is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited at various times since its completion. The painting is often discussed in the context of the Pre-Raphaelite movement and is considered an important work in Millais's oeuvre for its technical prowess and its intimate connection to the leading art critic of the time. It is also a key piece in understanding the complex relationships and social dynamics within the Pre-Raphaelite circle.
