EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Durazzo, from Journals of a Landscape Painter in Albania and Greece" takes us back to the year 1851. The image showcases the picturesque coastal town of Durazzo, located on the Adriatic coast of Albania. In this vibrant color lithograph by Edward Lear, we are transported to a time when Durazzo was still adorned with its ancient castle and fortress. The imposing fortification stands tall against the backdrop of clear blue skies and the shimmering sea. As we explore further into the scene, our eyes are drawn to a tranquil graveyard nestled within the walls of the fortress. The minaret rising above one corner of this historic site adds an intriguing touch, reminding us of Albania's rich cultural heritage influenced by both Eastern and Western civilizations. Beyond the castle walls, we catch glimpses of traditional Albanian dwellings lining the coastline. Lear's attention to detail brings out every architectural element in this composition - from gravestones dotting the landscape to ships docked at port - all contributing to an enchanting portrayal of life along this Balkan shoreline. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured over a century ago, it serves as a testament not only to Lear's artistic prowess but also as a window into an era long gone.
