"Ragusa Dubrovnik" is a notable artwork by Edward Lear (1812–1888), a British artist, illustrator, musician, author, and poet, renowned for his literary nonsense in poetry and limericks as well as for his travel writing and landscape paintings. Created during one of Lear's extensive travels, this work captures the essence and beauty of Dubrovnik, a historic city on the Adriatic Sea, in what is now Croatia. Known for its distinctive Old Town, encircled with massive stone walls completed in the 16th century, Dubrovnik has been a significant subject for artists, and Lear's depiction is no exception.

Edward Lear visited Dubrovnik, then known as Ragusa, in the mid-19th century, a period when the artist was extensively traveling through Europe and the Middle East, documenting landscapes, people, and cultures. His works from these travels, including "Ragusa Dubrovnik," are celebrated for their detailed observation, vibrant color, and the ability to convey the atmosphere of the locations he visited. Lear's landscapes are particularly valued for their contribution to the visual documentation of 19th-century Europe and the Mediterranean region, offering insights into the historical and cultural context of the era.

"Ragusa Dubrovnik" is characteristic of Lear's style, which blends realism with a romantic sensibility. His landscapes often feature dramatic skies, meticulous architectural details, and a deep sense of space, inviting the viewer to explore the scene's depth. This work, like many of Lear's paintings, not only showcases his technical skill but also reflects his personal affection for the landscapes he encountered. Through his art, Lear communicates a sense of wonder and discovery, qualities that made his travel illustrations highly popular during his lifetime and continue to be appreciated today.

Edward Lear's contribution to the art world extends beyond his nonsensical poetry and limericks, with his travel paintings and landscapes holding a significant place in the canon of 19th-century British art. "Ragusa Dubrovnik" exemplifies Lear's artistic legacy, capturing the unique charm of Dubrovnik and preserving it for future generations. This work remains an important part of Lear's oeuvre, illustrating his enduring fascination with the natural world and his exceptional ability to capture its beauty.
