The artists belonging to the Royal Academy included: Augustus Callcott, Edwin Landseer, David Roberts, and Clarkson Stanfield. He was also appreciative of the earlier generation of British artists, especially Sir Joshua Reynolds whom he saw with Thomas Gainsborough as being one of the five great painters of the English School along with William Hogarth, Richard Wilson and J.M.W. Turner ( Works, 16.197). He concluded: 'they are at once the greatest, and the Englishest, of all our school' ( Works, 33.311). In Modern Painters I, Ruskin comments unfavourably on the work of John Martin, John Constable, and Frederick Richard Lee and following the completion of the final volume of Modern Painters became less interested or enthusiastic about contemporary art practice. (See Ruskin's declining interest in contemporary art.)
