Painting Description
"Fountain of the Virgin, Nazareth, April 21st 1839, plate 29 from Volume I of The Holy Land" is a significant work by the renowned Scottish painter David Roberts, engraved by the eminent Belgian lithographer Louis Haghe. Published in 1842, this piece is part of a larger body of work that captures the essence of the Middle East's landscapes and historical sites as perceived during Roberts's pioneering journey in the 19th century.
The artwork depicts the Fountain of the Virgin in Nazareth, a site of communal and cultural importance, believed to be where the Angel Gabriel announced to the Virgin Mary that she would bear the Son of God, an event known as the Annunciation in Christian tradition. The scene is rendered with meticulous attention to detail and atmospheric effect, characteristic of Roberts's artistic style, which sought to document the architectural and archaeological wonders of the Holy Land with both accuracy and aesthetic sensitivity.
David Roberts (1796–1864) was a distinguished landscape artist, known for his extensive travels and artistic documentation of Egypt, the Near East, and the Holy Land. His works were among the first to introduce the British public to the visual splendors of these regions. Louis Haghe (1806–1885), the engraver, was a highly skilled lithographer and watercolorist, who collaborated with Roberts to produce the lithographs for "The Holy Land," a series that achieved great acclaim and commercial success in the 19th century.
The publication of "The Holy Land" was a monumental project that included a series of tinted lithographs based on Roberts's original drawings. "Fountain of the Virgin, Nazareth, April 21st 1839" stands as plate 29 in the first volume of this series, which collectively serves as a valuable historical record and a masterpiece of artistic endeavor in the representation of the landscapes and heritage of the Middle East. Roberts's work not only holds artistic value but also serves as an important cultural artifact, reflecting the Western perceptions and fascination with the Orient during the Victorian era.
