Albanien in der Kunst des Malers Edward Lear (1848)
Pikturat shqiptare të Eduard Lirit (Edward Lear, 1848)
EDL029 - Edward Lear: View of the Acroceraunian Mountains (Linguetta) and the Bay of Vlora in
southern Albania, ca. 21 October 1848.
“Beyond them were grey cliffs and green dun heights - a strip of white sand and the long
promontory of Linguetta stretching out into the gulf; the clear splashing sea at my feet, and above all
the bright streaked sky. A quiet half-hour in such a scene crowds many a reflection into the tablets of
thought, but such can have no place in journals.” Edward Lear in Albania (London 2008), p. 109.
