"The Cedars of Lebanon" is a notable artwork by Edward Lear (1812–1888), an English artist, illustrator, musician, author, and poet, now mostly known for his literary nonsense in poetry and prose, and especially his limericks, a form that he popularised. The painting is one of Lear's landscape works, which were highly regarded during his lifetime, and it depicts the famous cedar trees in Lebanon, which are historically significant and mentioned in various ancient texts, including the Bible.

Edward Lear visited Lebanon during his extensive travels throughout the Middle East in the mid-19th century. His journey to the region was part of a broader trend during the Victorian era, where Western artists and scholars were fascinated by the Orient, its landscapes, and its culture. Lear's travels were often undertaken with the purpose of creating detailed and vivid landscape paintings, which he would later work up into finished pieces for patrons or for exhibition.

"The Cedars of Lebanon" is characterized by Lear's attention to detail, his use of light and shadow, and his commitment to capturing the grandeur and majesty of the natural world. The cedars, known for their longevity and stature, are rendered with a sense of awe and respect, reflecting Lear's personal response to the landscape. The painting is also significant for its historical and cultural resonance, as the cedars of Lebanon have been a symbol of strength and endurance for centuries.

While Edward Lear is often remembered for his nonsensical verse, his contributions to the field of landscape painting are also significant. "The Cedars of Lebanon" stands as a testament to his skill as a draftsman and his ability to convey the sublime aspects of nature through his art. The work is part of a larger body of Lear's paintings that document the landscapes of the Mediterranean and the Near East, offering insights into the Western perception of these regions during the 19th century.

The painting is held in various collections and has been exhibited in art galleries that focus on Victorian art and the Orientalist movement. It continues to be studied by art historians and enthusiasts who are interested in the intersection of travel, art, and cultural exchange during the Victorian period.
