The British artist Edward Lear (1812 - 1888) was a landscape painter, draughtsman and writer best known for his works of nonsense literature of the Victorian period. Lear earned his money as a draughtsman at the age of 15, after the family had become impoverished following misguided speculations by his father. Your first illustrations of parrots were published in 1830 and in the following years, Lear's reputation as an ornithological painter enabled him to complete several commissions for Lord Stanley, President of the Zoological Society London. In 1835 Lear decided that he wanted to become a landscape painter. Although Lear suffered from epilepsy and depression throughout his life, from 1836 he travelled throughout Europe, producing many more drawings, which he later turned into watercolours or oil paintings. A total of three large volumes of drawings of birds and animals, which were created during his travels, as well as seven books about his travels were published.
His 1859 painting "Petra" had been accompanied by both drawings and watercolors. His landscapes were mostly pure landscapes, as in "Masada on the dead sea" from 1858, whereas in "Nuneham" (1860) a flock of sheep enlivens the lush green landscape. The situation is different in "The Pyramids Road, Gizah" (1860), where the landscape with the pyramids in the background stands back, while in the center is the avenue full of people and their numerous animals.
