He was recognised from an early age as a prodigy and became one of the leading art critics and social commentators of his day. "In The Stones of Venice ," according to The Armitt Gallery, Museum and Library website's biography of him, "he recorded in lyrical prose the architectural decoration that he felt was in danger of extinction.
