Isola Bella, Lago Maggiore, 1839. Creator: Edward Lear (British, 1812-1888)
Isola Bella, Lago Maggiore, 1839. Most famous for humorous poems such as " The Owl and the Pussycat, " Lear was also a painter and illustrator who wittily described himself as " Greek Topographical Painter par excellence." As a young artist, he traveled to Rome and remained abroad for the majority of his life. He undertook walking tours in Italy, Greece, Switzerland, and France, and sketched assiduously. Upon finding what he deemed a good subject, Lear observed the scenery through a monocle and then rapidly sketched the details of the view in graphite, usually recording the precise location and date. Later, he worked up the drawing in ink and laid in colour washes. This drawing records a view of Lake Maggiore in Italy

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Isola Bella, a picturesque island located in Lago Maggiore. Created by the talented British artist Edward Lear in 1839, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of the stunning Italian landscape. Edward Lear was not only known for his humorous poems like "The Owl and the Pussycat" but also for his skills as a painter and illustrator. He humorously referred to himself as the "Greek Topographical Painter par excellence". Lear spent most of his life abroad, traveling to Rome as a young artist and embarking on walking tours across Italy, Greece, Switzerland, and France. When he discovered an appealing subject, Lear would observe it through a monocle before rapidly sketching its intricate details with graphite. He meticulously recorded the exact location and date of each scene. Later on, he would enhance these drawings with ink and add color washes to bring them to life. This particular drawing portrays Lake Maggiore in Italy during the 19th century. The use of graphite heightened with white creates depth and texture within the image. Preserved by Heritage Art/Heritage Images at The Cleveland Museum of Art (not affiliated with any commercial company), this print serves as a testament to Edward Lear's artistic talent and his ability to capture nature's beauty through his unique perspective.
