Ruskin had been engaged on a manual of drawing for his Oxford schools, which he now meant to complete in two parts: "The Laws of Fésole" teaching the principles of Florentine draughtsmanship; and "The Laws of Rivo Alto" about Venetian colour. Passages for this second part were written.
"... the Moon, whose orb The Tuscan artist views through optic glass At evening from the top of Fesolé, Or in Valdarno, to descry new lands, Rivers or mountains in her spotty globe." The moon is probably the most interesting of all telescopic objects. This arises from its comparative nearness to the earth.
I have no doubt whatever it is by the own hand of the shepherd-boy of Fesole. These, on the central foundation-stone of his tower he engraves, looking back on the fields of life: the time soon near for him to draw the curtains of his tent.
