Description
40 lithographs portraying mainly Petra ruins and the vicinity, three of the lithographs feature the Holy Sepulcher Church. David Roberts and others, London, 19th century.
David Roberts (1796-1864), lived and worked in London. Was one of the first artists who arrived during the 19th century in the Near East to paint and introduce the European public to views of the region. The British were familiar with the written history of the region but they did not know its landscapes and views. Roberts arrived in Egypt during a long tour in 1838. He drew watercolor paintings which he made available to the public as lithographs. His paintings are of a realistic and romantic style. When Roberts returned to London he was assisted by the lithographer Louis Haghe in turning his original creations into lithographs.
