Painting Description
"Island Of Philae On The Nile, Nubia; Luxor" is a renowned lithograph by the Scottish artist David Roberts, created in the mid-19th century. David Roberts, born in 1796, was a prolific painter and lithographer known for his detailed and evocative depictions of architectural and historical sites. His works are particularly celebrated for their accuracy and artistic merit, capturing the grandeur and mystique of ancient civilizations.
This particular lithograph is part of Roberts' extensive collection of works that document his travels through the Middle East and North Africa between 1838 and 1839. During this period, Roberts visited Egypt, Nubia, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Levant, meticulously sketching the landscapes, monuments, and ruins he encountered. These sketches were later transformed into lithographs and published in a series titled "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia," which gained widespread acclaim and significantly contributed to Western understanding and appreciation of these regions.
The "Island Of Philae On The Nile, Nubia; Luxor" lithograph specifically depicts the ancient island of Philae, located in the Nile River near Aswan, Egypt. Philae was renowned for its temple complex dedicated to the goddess Isis, which was a significant religious site in ancient Egypt. The lithograph captures the serene beauty of the island, with its majestic temples and lush surroundings, set against the backdrop of the tranquil Nile waters.
Roberts' work is noted for its precision and attention to detail, qualities that are evident in this lithograph. His ability to convey the scale and splendor of the ancient structures, as well as the natural beauty of the landscape, has made this piece a valuable historical and artistic document. The lithograph not only serves as a visual record of Philae before the construction of the Aswan Low Dam, which later submerged the island, but also as a testament to Roberts' skill and dedication as an artist and traveler.
