"Baalbec" is a renowned lithograph created by the Scottish artist David Roberts in the 19th century. David Roberts, born in 1796, was a prolific painter and lithographer, celebrated for his detailed and evocative depictions of architectural and historical sites. His works are particularly noted for their accuracy and artistic merit, capturing the essence of the locations he visited during his extensive travels.

Roberts embarked on a grand tour of the Middle East in 1838, a journey that profoundly influenced his artistic output. During this expedition, he visited numerous significant sites, including Baalbek, an ancient city in modern-day Lebanon known for its impressive Roman ruins. The city of Baalbek, often referred to as Heliopolis in antiquity, boasts some of the best-preserved Roman temples in the world, including the Temple of Bacchus and the Temple of Jupiter.

"Baalbec" is part of Roberts' larger body of work, "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia," which was published between 1842 and 1849. This collection comprises lithographs based on Roberts' sketches made during his travels, and it played a significant role in shaping Western perceptions of the Middle East during the 19th century. The lithographs were produced by Louis Haghe, a master lithographer, who worked closely with Roberts to ensure that the final prints retained the detail and grandeur of the original sketches.

The lithograph "Baalbec" captures the majestic ruins of the ancient city with remarkable precision and artistic sensitivity. Roberts' attention to architectural detail and his ability to convey the scale and atmosphere of Baalbek's monumental structures have made this work a valuable historical and artistic document. The lithograph not only serves as a visual record of Baalbek's ancient splendor but also reflects the 19th-century European fascination with the Orient and its ancient civilizations.

David Roberts' "Baalbec" remains an important piece in the study of Orientalist art and continues to be appreciated for its historical significance and artistic excellence.
