About Kanchanjunga from Darjeeling Edward Lear Mountain Landscape Orientalist Painting
This monumental picture depicts a peak in the Himalayas, the third tallest in the world, which Lear visited in January 1874 at the invitation of the British viceroy in India. The painting is commensurate with the artist’s appraisal of the mountain as "god-like and stupendous," one that "at sunrise is a glory not to be forgotten" and in the afternoon "is apt to become a wonderful hash of Turneresque colour and mist and space." In addition to referring to drawings made on location, Lear was inspired by American painter Frederic Edwin Church’s 1859 canvas Heart of the Andes (on view in Gallery 760).
