More about this artwork

Edward Lear's masterful painting, "Corfu from Santa Decca," beautifully captures the serene and lush landscape of Corfu, an enchanting island off the coast of Greece. This picturesque vista is seen from a high vantage point amid ancient, twisted olive trees whose intricate branches elegantly frame the scene. The foreground is dominated by these majestic trees, creating a natural archway that leads the viewer's eye towards the shimmering Ionian Sea in the distance.In the middle distance, small figures can be seen enjoying the natural beauty of the setting, adding a human element to the vast expanse of nature. Their presence is subtle yet poignant, suggesting the scale and grandeur of the surrounding landscape. Further off, the viewer glimpses a calm sea, and just visible on the horizon are the faint outlines of a mainland mountain range, adding depth and mystery to the scene.The painting is a refined example of Lear’s ability to blend detailed naturalistic elements with a soft, evocative atmosphere, making "Corfu from Santa Decca" not just a visual experience but an emotional journey into the tranquility and majestic beauty of Corfu.

Edward Lear (12 May 1812 – 29 January 1888) was an English artist, illustrator, musician, author and poet, who is known mostly for his literary nonsense in poetry and prose and especially his limericks, a form he popularised.

His principal areas of work as an artist were threefold: as a draughtsman employed to make illustrations of birds and animals; making coloured drawings during his journeys, which he reworked later, sometimes as plates for his travel books; and as a (minor) illustrator of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poems.

As an author, he is known principally for his popular nonsense collections of poems, songs, short stories, botanical drawings, recipes and alphabets. He also composed and published twelve musical settings of Tennyson's poetry.
