"The Lake of Geneva" - painted by W. Collingwood Smith - from the Exhibition of the Society of Painters in Water Colours, 1856. Engraving of a painting. Mr. Collingwood Smith had Byron before him when he sought to represent this celebrated water: "Clear, placid, Leman! thy contrasted lake With the wide world I dwelt in is a thing Which warns me with its stillness to forsake Earth's troubled waters for a purer spring. Once I loved Torn ocean's roar; but thy soft murmuring Sounds sweet, as if a sister's voice reproved, That I with stern delight should once have been so moved". From "Illustrated London News", 1856

The Lake of Geneva,
EDITORS COMMENTS
painted by W. Collingwood Smith, is a captivating watercolor masterpiece showcased at the Exhibition of the Society of Painters in Water Colours in 1856. This exquisite artwork, now available as an engraving, invites viewers to immerse themselves in the serene beauty of Lake Geneva, or Lake Leman, nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps. Collingwood Smith, a British artist, was inspired by the poetic words of Lord Byron, who once wrote, "Clear, placid, Leman! thy contrasted lake With the wide world I dwelt in is a thing Which warns me with its stillness to forsake Earth's troubled waters for a purer spring." Byron's connection to the lake is reflected in the painting, as Collingwood Smith expertly captures the tranquil scene of the lake surrounded by majestic mountains, oxen-drawn carts, and the gentle murmur of the water. The painting, published in the Illustrated London News in 1856, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when tourism was just beginning to flourish, and the Alps were a popular destination for travelers seeking adventure and inspiration. The scene is filled with intriguing details, from the beasts of burden laboring to transport goods along the winding roads, to the picturesque villages and mountain ranges in the distance. Collingwood Smith's "The Lake of Geneva" is a testament to the power of art to transport us to another time and place, inviting us to appreciate the natural beauty of the world around us and the rich history that lies within it. This engraving is a must-have for any art lover, history buff, or anyone seeking to add a touch of European charm to their home or office.
