His over fondness for brilliant execution I have already noticed

Ruskin may also have in mind the material from para. 27, 'On the Foliage of Harding, Fielding, and other modern painters' in the first and second editions which was omitted in this third edition, where Ruskin writes: 'We should enjoy a little more of the making out which we find in Claude's foreground, to give greater value to his brilliant execution...'. ( Works, 3.598).
