Painting Description
"City of Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee, April 22nd 1839" is a notable lithograph by the Scottish artist David Roberts, which serves as plate 38 from Volume I of his seminal work "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia." The lithograph was expertly engraved by the Belgian printmaker Louis Haghe (1806-1885) and published in 1842. This work is part of a larger series that was one of the most ambitious and comprehensive visual surveys of the Near East in the 19th century.
The image captures the ancient city of Tiberias, located on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, also known as Lake Tiberias or Lake Kinneret in modern-day Israel. Roberts visited the site on April 22, 1839, during his extensive travels through the region, which lasted from 1838 to 1839. His journey aimed to document the landscapes, architecture, and people of the Holy Land, an area of profound religious significance to Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
Roberts's work is characterized by its attention to detail and the romantic allure of the exotic locations he depicted. His views of the Holy Land were particularly influential, shaping Western perceptions of the Middle East during the 19th century. The lithographs, including "City of Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee," were celebrated for their accuracy and artistry, and they contributed significantly to Roberts's reputation as one of the foremost Orientalist painters of his time.
The series, including the Tiberias lithograph, was published in six volumes over seven years and received widespread acclaim for its artistic and technical achievement. Today, Roberts's works are considered important records of the historical and cultural landscape of the Near East, as well as significant works of art that continue to be studied and admired for their beauty and historical value.
