Painting Description
"Entrance to Nablous, April 17th 1839, plate 41 from Volume I of The Holy Land" is an exquisite lithograph that forms part of a larger collection of works by the renowned Scottish artist David Roberts. Engraved by the accomplished Belgian lithographer Louis Haghe, this piece was published in 1842 as part of Roberts' monumental series "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia." This series is celebrated for its detailed and romanticized depictions of the Middle East during the 19th century, a period when Western interest in the region was burgeoning.
David Roberts (1796-1864) was a prolific painter and lithographer, whose works are particularly noted for their architectural and topographical accuracy. His journey to the Middle East in 1838-1839 provided the material for "The Holy Land" series, which remains one of the most significant visual records of the region from that era. Roberts' keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of the landscapes and urban scenes he encountered are evident in "Entrance to Nablous."
Louis Haghe (1806-1885), the engraver of this particular plate, was a master lithographer known for his ability to translate the subtleties of Roberts' original sketches into the medium of lithography. Haghe's collaboration with Roberts resulted in a series of prints that are both artistically and technically superb, showcasing the intricate interplay of light and shadow, as well as the architectural and natural beauty of the scenes.
The lithograph "Entrance to Nablous" specifically captures the historical city of Nablus, located in the West Bank. The scene is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, portraying the city's entrance as it appeared on April 17th, 1839. This work not only serves as an artistic representation but also as a historical document, providing insights into the urban landscape and architectural styles of the time.
Published in 1842, the lithograph is part of Volume I of "The Holy Land," which was highly acclaimed upon its release and continues to be a valuable resource for historians, art enthusiasts, and scholars of Middle Eastern studies. The collaboration between Roberts and Haghe resulted in a series that has left an indelible mark on the artistic and cultural understanding of the 19th-century Middle East.
