EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stunning beauty of Eza, France in 1865. The image showcases a majestic castle perched dramatically on a rocky crag along the coast. Painted by Edward Lear, an avid traveler and painter, this watercolor view is one of many he created during his frequent journeys abroad. The scene is depicted on greyish paper, with opaque white watercolor used to highlight the sky and a tree in the foreground. Over time, the blue hues have faded from the sky, adding a touch of nostalgia to the artwork. Lear skillfully outlines the landscape using ink and employs diagonal lines to establish shadows while incorporating color shading. The composition not only showcases the grandeur of castles but also highlights the natural elements surrounding it. The trees and mountains add depth to this French landscape while emphasizing its coastal location. This painting transports viewers back in time to witness both architectural marvels and breathtaking scenery. Displayed at Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, this artwork serves as a testament to Lear's talent for capturing picturesque scenes through his skilled use of ink and watercolors. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both historical architecture and nature's wonders found along France's coastline.
