The essay examines Ruskin's position in relation with the aesthetics of the picturesque, which is indicative of the clash between visual and verbal codes of landscape description; at a deeper level, his assessments, often contradictory and fraught with doubts, are indicative of the conflict between the formalist picturesque and the associationist, sentimental version favoured by XIX century authors and critics.
