Descripción
David Roberts, a Scottish painter and lithographer born in 1796, achieved renown for his captivating depictions of the Middle East. Venturing to countries like Egypt, Palestine, and Syria in 1838, Roberts meticulously documented the landscapes, architecture, and daily life of the region through sketches and drawings. Upon returning to England, he translated his extensive collection into a series of 250 lithographs published as "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia" between 1842 and 1849. This series, celebrated for its precision and artistic brilliance, offered Europeans a visual journey into the exotic and historical landscapes of the Middle East. Roberts' detailed renderings of iconic landmarks, such as the pyramids and Petra, played a significant role in shaping the Western fascination with Orientalism during the 19th century, leaving an enduring legacy in the realm of art and cultural representation.
