1841
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Olevano is a 1841 by Edward Lear, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a rugged, rocky hillside with sharp cliffs and jagged boulders. In the distance, a small castle or ruin sits on a hill, surrounded by rolling hills. The foreground has a few scattered bushes and sheep grazing near a small stream. The artist used simple lines to show texture, like the rough edges of the rocks and the folds of the hills. The scene feels quiet and a bit lonely, with no people in sight. Next, check out *Romanticism* to see how this style often focused on nature’s wild beauty.
Edward Lear (12 May 1812 – 29 January 1888) was an English artist, illustrator, musician, author and poet, who is known mostly for his literary nonsense in poetry and prose and especially his limericks, a form he popularised but which term he never used.
