More about this artwork

"View across a Bay (Monaco)" by Edward Lear, dated between 1884 and 1885, provides a captivating glimpse into a serene moment captured in the picturesque principality of Monaco. This painting, rendered in subtle monochrome watercolors, emphasizes mood and atmosphere over vivid detail, inviting viewers to experience a peaceful bay through the artist’s eyes.The composition is divided by an expansive view of the sea, meeting a rugged, slightly overcast sky at the horizon. On the left side, the natural curves of the coastline are adorned by crumbling ruins which suggest a rich historical past, now quietly surveyed by the calm of nature. Dominating the right side, a lush, detailed tree clings to the rocky escarpment, its leaves skillfully brushed to suggest movement, perhaps from a gentle sea breeze.This painting not only offers a snapshot of the Mediterranean’s natural beauty but also reflects Edward Lear’s profound appreciation for the tranquil and evocative landscapes he encountered.

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.
