Who isn’t in love with all things SICILY? This painting is possibly by Edward Lear….An enchanting 19th C depiction of Roman Ruins against the waterside landscape of Solunto Sicily. Framed and glazed with title on centre mount. This very much reminds us of Edward Lear Edward Lear (12 May 1812 29 January 1888)
In 1842, Lear began a journey into the Italian peninsula, travelling through the Lazio, Rome, Abruzzo, Molise, Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria and Sicily. In personal notes, together with drawings, Lear gathered his impressions on the Italian way of life, folk traditions, and the beauty of the ancient monuments. Of particular interest to Lear was the Abruzzo, which he visited in 1843, through the Marsica (Celano, Avezzano, Alba Fucens, Trasacco) and the plateau of Cinque Miglia (Castel di Sangro and Alfedena), by an old sheep track of the shepherds
