"Catania, Sicily, from the Little Liber" is an artwork by the renowned English Romantic landscape painter Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851), created around 1826 as part of his "Little Liber" series. This series, also known as the "Liber Studiorum Junior," was a follow-up to his earlier and more famous "Liber Studiorum," a collection of prints that Turner produced to explore the interplay of light and shade in various landscapes and to promote landscape painting as a form of high art.

The "Catania, Sicily, from the Little Liber" captures a view of Catania, a city at the foot of Mount Etna on the east coast of Sicily, Italy. Turner's work is characterized by its atmospheric effects and dramatic use of light, which is evident in this depiction of Catania. The artwork reflects Turner's fascination with natural phenomena and his ability to convey the sublime power of nature through his masterful handling of light, color, and composition.

Turner's interest in Sicily and the Mediterranean region was part of a broader trend among European artists of the time, who were drawn to the area's classical heritage and its picturesque landscapes. His travels in the region allowed him to study its unique light and geography firsthand, which he then translated into his works with his signature expressive style.

The "Little Liber" series was not as commercially successful as Turner's earlier "Liber Studiorum," and fewer prints were made. However, the works from this series, including "Catania, Sicily, from the Little Liber," are considered important examples of Turner's late style and his ongoing experimentation with the boundaries of landscape painting. The series demonstrates his continued commitment to elevating the genre and his influence on subsequent generations of artists.

Today, "Catania, Sicily, from the Little Liber" is appreciated for its historical significance and artistic merit, contributing to the enduring legacy of J.M.W. Turner as one of the greatest landscape painters of the 19th century.
