Painting Description
"A Nubian group, Wady Kardassy" is a captivating lithograph by the renowned Scottish artist David Roberts, created in the mid-19th century. David Roberts, born in 1796, was a prolific painter and lithographer, celebrated for his detailed and evocative depictions of the Near East, Egypt, and the Holy Land. His works are particularly noted for their historical and cultural significance, as they provide a visual record of these regions during a period of significant change and Western exploration.
This particular lithograph is part of Roberts' monumental work, "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia," which was published between 1842 and 1849. The series was the result of Roberts' extensive travels in the Middle East from 1838 to 1839, during which he meticulously sketched the landscapes, architecture, and people he encountered. These sketches were later transformed into lithographs by Louis Haghe, one of the leading lithographers of the time, and published by F.G. Moon in London.
"A Nubian group, Wady Kardassy" captures a scene in Wadi Kardassy, a valley in Nubia, which is located in present-day southern Egypt and northern Sudan. The lithograph portrays a group of Nubian people, distinguished by their traditional attire and distinctive features, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Nubian landscape. Roberts' attention to detail and his ability to convey the textures and atmosphere of the scene are evident in this work, making it a valuable document of the region's cultural and geographical heritage.
Roberts' lithographs were highly influential in shaping Western perceptions of the Middle East and North Africa during the 19th century. They were widely admired for their artistic merit and their documentary value, providing a glimpse into a world that was, for many Europeans, both exotic and remote. Today, "A Nubian group, Wady Kardassy" remains a significant piece of art, reflecting the intersection of artistic endeavor and historical documentation.
