Antoine-Edmond Joinville trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, later becoming one of the second generation of classical landscape painters working in Italy with Edouard Bertin, Théodore Caruelle d’Aligny, Alexandre Desgoffe and of course Jean-Baptiste-Camile Corot. He first visited Italy in 1824, when he produced several views of Genoa, Venice, Rome, Naples, later returning for a lengthy stay between 1831 and 1848. During this latter period, Joinville travelled at least once to North Africa. He worked on commission for the Duchesse de Berry, producing a number of views of Sicily for her, and also exhibiting some of these back in Paris at the Salon.
