More about this artwork

"The Pineta, Ravenna" is a serene painting by Edward Lear created in 1872, depicting a timeless scene of natural elegance. This beautiful landscape portrays the famous pine forest of Ravenna, which has been a source of inspiration for various artists and poets throughout history. In Lear’s rendition, the tall and majestic stone pines dominate the scene, their lofty canopies casting a warm golden light in the soft hues of a setting sun.The perspective is drawn along a tranquil waterway, reflecting the delicate colors of the sky and the silhouettes of the trees. Floating gracefully on the water are water lilies, adding a touch of calm and beauty to the scene. On the left side of the painting, a figure, perhaps a local, is seen walking beside the water, accompanied by a child, suggesting a moment of leisurely familial connection amidst nature’s quietude.Lear’s use of light and shadow, along with his detailed and accurate representation of the flora, creates a peaceful atmosphere, inviting the viewer into a quiet moment frozen in time.

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.
