More about this artwork

"Mountainous View from Antrodoco" by Edward Lear, created in 1845, is a fine illustration of the artist’s landscape sketching skills, masterfully capturing the serene and rugged topography of the Italian countryside. This pencil drawing, subtle yet detailed, introduces viewers to a sweeping vista of layered mountain ranges receding into the distance. The foreground shows a more rugged terrain, marked by what appears to be shrubs and sparse vegetation, leading the eye towards a central peak that dominates the composition.The play of light and shadow is rendered with delicate gradations of pencil shading, suggesting the soft luminosity of the sky against the hard textures of rock and earth. A notable feature includes a gentle ridge that curves towards a valley, hinting at a tranquil isolation far from the bustle of urban life.True to Lear’s style, the work balances meticulous detail with atmospheric perspective, inviting viewers to contemplate the vastness of nature and its quiet beauty.

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.
