"Corfu from Santa Decca" is a poem by Edward Lear (1812–1888), an English artist, illustrator, musician, author, and poet, now mostly known for his literary nonsense in poetry and prose, especially his limericks, a form he popularised. The poem is part of a collection of Lear's works that reflect his extensive travels and his responses to the landscapes and cultures he encountered.

Edward Lear spent a significant amount of time in Corfu, which was one of the Ionian Islands under British rule during his stay. The island provided a wealth of inspiration for Lear, who was captivated by its natural beauty, and "Corfu from Santa Decca" captures his impressions of the island's scenery. The poem is notable for its vivid imagery and the way it conveys the enchantment of the Corfiot landscape as seen from the vantage point of Santa Decca, presumably a reference to the mountainous areas of Corfu, which offer panoramic views of the island and the sea.

In the poem, Lear combines his artistic sensibilities with his unique poetic style to evoke the serene and picturesque environment of Corfu. His work often includes detailed descriptions of the places he visited, and "Corfu from Santa Decca" is no exception, as it likely features the interplay of light, color, and form that characterizes much of Lear's travel-inspired poetry.

While "Corfu from Santa Decca" is not as widely known as some of Lear's other works, such as "The Owl and the Pussycat" or his Book of Nonsense, it remains a testament to his lesser-known but nonetheless significant contributions to travel literature and to the poetic expression of landscape experiences. The poem serves as a historical document of the Ionian Islands during the 19th century, offering insights into the region's natural beauty as seen through the eyes of a prominent English literary figure of the Victorian era.
