Aunque Ruskin no sistematiza su significado y el “estilo” adquiere numerosos matices –a menudo contradictorios– a lo largo de su obra, trazar sus particularidades contribuye a comprender mejor la propuesta estética del escritor inglés. Nos detendremos fundamentalmente en algunos pasajes de Modern Painters y estableceremos un diálogo entre la condena al subjetivismo humano en la creación artística –que, con su soberbia y su debilidad, puede pretender erigirse en demiurgo– y la necesidad de marcar una forma para evitar que el objeto estético se confunda con la naturaleza. Estos dos polos nos llevarán a considerar las ideas de imitación y de verdad que contrapone Ruskin y su concepto de lo “pintoresco”, entendido como “sublimidad parasitaria”. La noción de estilo se desprenderá de una comprensión interrelacional entre estos vértices.
