"Philae on the Nile" is a painting by Edward Lear (1812–1888), an English artist, illustrator, musician, author, and poet, now mostly known for his literary nonsense in poetry and prose. The painting depicts the island of Philae in Egypt, which was famous for its ancient Egyptian temple complex. Lear visited Egypt during his extensive travels, and the country's landscape made a significant impression on him, inspiring a number of works.

In "Philae on the Nile," Lear captures the serene beauty of the Nile and the grandeur of the Philae temples. The painting is characterized by its detailed rendering of the architectural features of the temples and the surrounding landscape, reflecting Lear's attention to detail and his skill in watercolor. His works often exhibit a combination of precise draftsmanship and romantic sensibility, which is evident in the way he portrays the interplay of light and shadow in this piece.

Edward Lear's travels to Egypt took place in the mid-19th century, a time when the Western world was fascinated with Orientalism and the exotic allure of the East. His paintings from this period contribute to the visual documentation of Egypt's ancient monuments, many of which were later submerged after the construction of the Aswan Dam in the 20th century.

"Philae on the Nile" is part of Lear's broader body of work that includes landscapes from his travels across Europe and the Middle East. His paintings are held in various public and private collections, and they continue to be appreciated for their historical value and artistic merit. The painting not only showcases Lear's artistic talents but also serves as a historical record of Philae as it stood in the 19th century, prior to the island's inundation and the subsequent relocation of its temples.
