David Roberts's "06 The Island of Philae by Sunset" is a captivating lithograph from his renowned series "Egypt and Nubia," which was published between 1846 and 1849. This particular piece is a testament to Roberts's extraordinary ability to capture the ethereal beauty and historical grandeur of ancient Egyptian sites. The lithograph depicts the Island of Philae, a site of immense archaeological and cultural significance, bathed in the warm, golden hues of the setting sun. The tranquil waters of the Nile reflect the majestic temples and lush vegetation, creating a serene and almost mystical atmosphere.

Roberts, a Scottish painter, embarked on a journey to the Near East in 1838, driven by a fascination with the region's ancient civilizations. His travels took him through Egypt, Nubia, and the Holy Land, where he meticulously sketched the landscapes, monuments, and daily life he encountered. These sketches were later transformed into detailed lithographs by Louis Haghe, one of the leading lithographers of the time, and published in the three-volume work "Egypt and Nubia." The series was highly acclaimed for its artistic merit and historical accuracy, providing a vivid visual record of sites that were, in many cases, deteriorating or inaccessible.

"The Island of Philae by Sunset" is particularly notable for its depiction of the Temple of Isis, one of the last ancient temples built in the classical Egyptian style. The temple complex, dedicated to the goddess Isis, was a center of pilgrimage and worship until the advent of Christianity. Roberts's portrayal captures not only the architectural splendor of the temple but also the serene and almost otherworldly ambiance of the island at dusk. The lithograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical document, offering insights into the 19th-century European perspective on Egypt's ancient heritage.
