Ornithological draughtsman for the Zoological Society
Lear worked for the Zoological Society and became one of the greatest ornithological artists of his era: he was the first major bird artist to draw birds from life rather than from the skins of specimens. He taught Elizabeth Gould and contributed to John Gould’s works; some compared him to Audubon.

A journey through Italy, from Lazio to Sicily
In 1842 Lear began a journey through the Italian peninsula, travelling through Lazio, Rome, Abruzzo, Molise, Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria and Sicily; in notes and drawings he gathered his impressions of the Italian way of life, folk traditions and the beauty of the ancient monuments.
