Painting Description
"Ascent of the Lower Range of Sinai, February 18th 1839, plate 114 from Volume III of The Holy Land" is an evocative and meticulously detailed engraving by Louis Haghe, based on the original work of the renowned Scottish artist David Roberts. Published in 1849, this piece is part of Roberts' extensive and influential series "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia," which comprises multiple volumes and plates that document his travels through the Middle East and North Africa during the 19th century.
David Roberts, born in 1796, was a prominent painter known for his detailed and romanticized depictions of architectural and historical sites. His journey to the Holy Land in 1838-1839 was a significant undertaking, resulting in a comprehensive visual record of the region's landscapes, monuments, and daily life. Roberts' works were highly regarded for their accuracy and artistic quality, capturing the imagination of the European public and contributing to the 19th-century fascination with the Orient.
Louis Haghe, a Belgian lithographer born in 1806, was instrumental in bringing Roberts' visions to a wider audience. Haghe's skillful engravings translated Roberts' detailed sketches and watercolors into prints that retained the original's depth and vibrancy. His collaboration with Roberts is considered one of the finest examples of lithographic work of the period.
The specific plate, "Ascent of the Lower Range of Sinai, February 18th 1839," depicts a dramatic and rugged landscape, characteristic of the Sinai Peninsula. The scene captures the arduous journey through the mountainous terrain, emphasizing both the physical challenge and the sublime beauty of the region. The date, February 18th, 1839, marks the day Roberts himself traversed this part of Sinai, lending an air of authenticity and immediacy to the work.
This engraving not only serves as a historical document but also as an artistic achievement, reflecting the 19th-century European interest in exploration and the exotic. Roberts' and Haghe's combined efforts provide a window into a world that was, at the time, largely unknown to the Western audience, offering insights into the geography, culture, and spiritual significance of the Holy Land.
