Painting Description
"20 Ruins from Kom Ombo" is a notable lithograph created by the Scottish artist David Roberts in the 19th century. David Roberts, born in 1796, was a prominent painter known for his detailed and evocative depictions of architectural and historical sites. His works are particularly significant for their contribution to the Western understanding and appreciation of Middle Eastern and North African cultures during the 19th century.
The lithograph "20 Ruins from Kom Ombo" is part of Roberts' larger body of work that emerged from his extensive travels in Egypt and the Near East between 1838 and 1839. During this period, Roberts meticulously sketched numerous ancient sites, which were later transformed into lithographs by Louis Haghe, a renowned Belgian lithographer. These lithographs were published in the monumental series "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia," which played a crucial role in popularizing the visual culture of these regions in Europe.
Kom Ombo, the site depicted in this lithograph, is an ancient Egyptian temple complex located in Upper Egypt. It is unique for its dual dedication to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon-headed god. The temple's distinctive architectural features and its picturesque ruins made it an attractive subject for Roberts' artistic endeavors. His depiction captures the grandeur and mystique of the site, emphasizing the intricate details of the temple's columns, reliefs, and surrounding landscape.
Roberts' work is celebrated for its accuracy and artistic merit, providing valuable insights into the condition and appearance of these ancient sites during the 19th century. His lithographs not only served as important historical records but also inspired a sense of wonder and curiosity about ancient civilizations among his contemporaries. "20 Ruins from Kom Ombo" remains a significant piece within Roberts' oeuvre, reflecting his skill in combining artistic vision with documentary precision.
