"Approach To Petra" is a renowned lithograph created by the Scottish artist David Roberts in 1839. Roberts, celebrated for his detailed and evocative depictions of Middle Eastern and North African landscapes, embarked on a grand tour of the region in 1838. His journey took him through Egypt, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Levant, where he meticulously sketched the ancient ruins, bustling cities, and dramatic landscapes he encountered. These sketches later served as the basis for a series of lithographs, which were published between 1842 and 1849 in the six-volume work "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia."

"Approach To Petra" captures the awe-inspiring entrance to the ancient Nabatean city of Petra, located in present-day Jordan. The lithograph is particularly notable for its dramatic portrayal of the Siq, a narrow, winding gorge that serves as the main entrance to the city. Roberts' composition skillfully conveys the grandeur and mystery of Petra, with towering rock walls that seem to close in on the viewer, creating a sense of anticipation and wonder. The meticulous detail in the rendering of the rock formations and the play of light and shadow highlight Roberts' technical prowess and his ability to evoke the atmosphere of the location.

Roberts' work was instrumental in bringing the wonders of the Middle East to the attention of the European public. His lithographs were widely acclaimed for their accuracy and artistic merit, and they played a significant role in shaping Western perceptions of the region. "Approach To Petra" remains one of Roberts' most celebrated works, admired for its historical significance and its artistic excellence. The lithograph continues to be a valuable resource for historians, art enthusiasts, and travelers, offering a glimpse into the 19th-century exploration and documentation of one of the world's most iconic archaeological sites.
