A painter, draftsman, and writer, Edward Lear is well known for the superb topographical landscapes he executed over the course of a lifetime of travel throughout Europe, the Near East, and South Asia. This drawing was made during his second trip to Venice, in 1865. On 16 November of that year he wrote, "Anything so incredibly beautiful as the colour of the place I never saw" (V. Noakes, Edward Lear 1812-1888, exhibition catalogue, Royal Academy of Arts, London, p. 116, under no. 31).
