More about this artwork

Edward Lear's evocative landscape "Napoli," created between the years of 1884 and 1885, encapsulates a timeless view of Naples with a particular focus on the iconic Mount Vesuvius. This artwork, rendered through a skillful use of watercolor, captures the volcanic mountain during a moment of activity, its plume of smoke gently rising into the sky, merging nature's quiet grandeur with a sense of underlying drama.The foreground of the painting is lush with foliage, showcasing Lear's attention to the detailed textures of the natural environment. These leafy branches frame the view and draw the eye towards the distant landscape where human habitation nestles subtly against the vast, open bay. The subdued palette of grays and earth tones conveys a serene, almost ethereal quality to the scene, allowing the viewer to feel both the beauty and the poignant melancholy that often accompanies Lear’s landscapes.This painting not only captures a geographical location but also expresses the emotional resonance of the place.

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.
