Painting Description
"At Luxor, Thebes, Upper Egypt" is a notable lithograph from the first volume of "Egypt and Nubia," a three-volume set of illustrated travel books published between 1846 and 1849. The work is based on the original sketches and paintings by the Scottish artist David Roberts (1796–1864), who is renowned for his detailed and evocative depictions of Egypt and the Near East. Roberts embarked on a journey through the region in 1838, capturing the monumental architecture and landscapes he encountered.
This particular lithograph captures a scene at Luxor in Upper Egypt, an area known for its ancient Egyptian temples and ruins, including the sprawling Temple of Luxor dedicated to the Theban Triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Roberts' work is characterized by its attention to architectural detail and its ability to convey the grandeur and scale of the ancient monuments amidst the Egyptian landscape.
The lithographs in "Egypt and Nubia" were produced by Louis Haghe, a skilled lithographer, who translated Roberts' watercolors into print form. The collaboration between Roberts and Haghe resulted in a collection that was both artistically significant and historically important, as it provided one of the most comprehensive visual records of Egypt and the surrounding regions during the mid-19th century.
"Egypt and Nubia" was well-received upon its release, appealing to the Victorian fascination with exotic locales and ancient civilizations. The works within the volumes, including "At Luxor, Thebes, Upper Egypt," played a crucial role in shaping Western perceptions of the Middle East and contributed to the burgeoning field of Egyptology.
The lithograph, along with the rest of the volumes, remains a valuable document of the 19th-century encounter between Europe and the Middle East, and is of interest to historians, art historians, and collectors. It is also a testament to the enduring allure of Egypt's ancient heritage and the impact of David Roberts' artistic legacy.
