"Kinchinjunga from Darjeeling" is a painting by the British artist Edward Lear (1812–1888), known primarily for his literary nonsense in poetry and prose and especially his limericks, a form he popularised. Apart from his literary contributions, Lear was also a proficient painter, having been professionally trained in the art. His works often included landscapes and natural history subjects, reflecting his extensive travels and keen observation of the natural world.

The painting "Kinchinjunga from Darjeeling" depicts the third highest mountain in the world, Kangchenjunga, as viewed from Darjeeling, a town in the Indian state of West Bengal. Darjeeling, renowned for its tea and panoramic views of the Himalayas, provides a vantage point for viewing Kangchenjunga, which is situated on the border between Nepal and the Indian state of Sikkim.

Lear's work on this subject is significant as it captures the grandeur and scale of the Himalayan peaks, which had become a subject of fascination in the West during the 19th century. The era was marked by exploration and the British presence in India, and Lear's painting contributes to the period's visual documentation of the region's landscape.

The painting is characterized by Lear's attention to detail and his use of light and color to convey the majesty and atmosphere of the Himalayas. His landscapes are noted for their precision and evocative portrayal of the natural environment, which he often sketched from life during his travels before completing the paintings in his studio.

"Kinchinjunga from Darjeeling" is part of Edward Lear's broader body of work that includes numerous landscape paintings, which were highly regarded during his lifetime and continue to be appreciated for their artistic and historical value. The painting not only reflects Lear's artistic skill but also serves as a historical record of the Himalayan landscape as seen in the 19th century.
