Childe Harold's Pilgrimage – Italy is an 1832 landscape painting by the British artist J. M. W. Turner. It depicts a scene from the poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage by Lord Byron. Turner possibly drew some inspiration from his friend Charles Lock Eastlake's 1827 painting Lord Byron's Dream.[1] It also reflects the influence of the seventeenth century artist Claude Lorrain.[2] It was exhibited at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition at Somerset House. It was extremely popular with visitors, but critics were unflattering about its use of colour.[3] Is now part of the collection of Tate Britain, having been part of the Turner Bequest in 1856.
