“Ruskin re-awakened the hearts of men by his work and study,” wrote Rose Amy Pennethorne in 1952. He arose like a light in darkness, she said, and trained “young men once more to see, and understand what they saw.” Charlotte Mason was determined that young men and women *would* see, and hence picture study was born.

From black and white photographs, to Perry Pictures, to color reproductions from the Medici Society, the materials of picture study have changed but the substance remains the same, and always with its “co-ordinating link” to the other studies of the term.

Read or hear the fascinating story of the awakening of picture study by House of Education graduate and PENU leader Miss Pennethorne. Find it here.
