Ruskin was to raise this issue again in 'The Nature of Gothic' where he stated that Sir George Beaumont, in 'trying to make Constable paint grass brown instead of green, was setting himself between Constable and nature, blunting the painter, and blaspheming the work of God' ( Works, 10.221). Ruskin saw Beaumont as typical of the formalist school (see Ruskin on Beaumont).
