Gallup's gift is rivaled in size and value only by the collection of works given to the center by the late Yale alumnus Paul Mellon, whose gifts of art established the center. "Most accounts of the artistic achievements of Edward Lear take as their starting point the notion that he is better known as the author of 'The Owl and the Pussy-cat' and other nonsense verse than as a topographical draftsman and painter," says Scott Wilcox, curator of prints and drawings at the center. "His art is considered largely in isolation, as the extraordinary creation of a fascinatingly eccentric Victorian. This exhibition situates Lear's art within the great outpouring of images of foreign lands produced by British artists in the later 18th and 19th centuries." Opening lecture Vivien Noakes, an authority on Edward Lear, will present the opening lecture for the exhibition on Wednesday, Sept. 20, at 5:15 p.m. at the Yale Center for British Art.

For many of Britain's greatest artists of the nineteenth century, travel was a key artistic experience and foreign landscapes a potent source of inspiration. Edward Lear and the Art of Travel takes a fresh look at the life and times of Edward Lear (1812-1888) and other British artist travelers of the Victorian era. The exhibition celebrates the generous gift to the Yale Center by Donald C. Gallup, alumnus of the University and former curator of American literature at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. This 1997 giftthe largest and most valuable to come to the Center apart from that of Paul Mellonincludes almost four hundred drawings and paintings by Lear. Selected works from the Gallup gift, as well as the Paul Mellon Collection and other gifts to the museum, are featured. These include 114 drawings, 12 paintings, and 6 books by Lear, and over 60 works by 37 other artists, including J.M.W. Turner, Richard Parkes Bonington, David Roberts, and John Frederick Lewis.

Guest curator, Fani-Marie Tsigakou, curator of prints and drawings at the Benaki Museum in Athens and an expert on the British artist Edward Lear, has selected thirty-five watercolors, painted by Lear during his travels in Greece between 1848 and 1864, from a collection of some 200 Lear watercolors in the Gennadius Library of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. The Gennadius Library, located in the heart of Athens, is one of the world's great collections of rare and specialized books on Greek history and culture since the end of antiquity. It was built in 1926 by the American School, a major American research institute in the humanities founded in 1881 and devoted to Hellenic culture of all periods. In addition to books, the Library also has extensive archives and a collection of art relating to Greece, including the works in this exhibition. The Gennadius Library and the American School of Classical Studies at Athens have their U. S. headquarters in Princeton, New Jersey. Complementing Edward Lear's watercolors of Greece is The Art Museum's permanent collection of Greek and Roman art, which is exhibited in the Museum's lower galleries. The collection includes a diverse range of ancient art and artifacts, many of outstanding quality and importance, including gold jewelry, painted pottery, and sculptures in bronze, marble, and terracotta, as well as a large number of Roman mosaic pavements from the Princeton excavations at Antioch-on-the Orontes. The collection functions as a major resource for the teaching of ancient history and classical art and archaeology by Princeton and regional university faculties and by secondary teachers in the Princeton area.

94. Edward Lear Edward Lear portrait Edward Lear (1812 1888). Edward Lear was born in NorthLondon, on May 12, 1812. He was the twentieth of twenty-one children of Ann http://www.alstewart.com/history/elear.htm

Edward Lear Edward Lear (1812 - 1888) Edward Lear was born in North London, on May 12, 1812. He was the twentieth of twenty-one children of Ann Clark Skerrett and Jeremiah Lear. Lear was a near sighted and asthmatic boy. At the age of five or six years he also developed a relatively mild case of epilepsy which he referred to as "the demon". At about this time Lear’s mother handed Edward over to his eldest sister Ann. Ann was kind and good humored, but Lear felt the rejection of his mother, and from as early as seven Lear began to experience a depression he came to call "the morbids". Perhaps because of fragile health, Lear only had a brief period at school. Ann, and his second sister, Sarah, taught him to read and write, to play the piano, and to draw and paint. In 1832 Lord Stanley, the president of the Zoological Society, invited Lear to his estate of Knowsley to do drawings of the animals in his private collection. While there Lear developed reputation for being witty, which led the Earl to invite him to dine with the family and their guests instead of the with the hired help. This brought Lear into contact with influential people whose friendship and support changed the course of his life. In 1846 Lear also published at his own expense the limericks he had written while at Knowsley under the title of A Book of Nonsense.
