"Jacobs Well at Shechem, April 17th 1839, plate 40 from Volume I of The Holy Land" is a notable work engraved by Louis Haghe (1806-1885) and published in 1842 by David Roberts. This piece is part of a larger collection titled "The Holy Land," which is renowned for its detailed and evocative depictions of the Middle East during the 19th century. David Roberts, a Scottish painter, embarked on a journey to the Near East in 1838, capturing a series of landscapes, architectural marvels, and culturally significant sites through his sketches and paintings. These works were later transformed into lithographs by Louis Haghe, a Belgian engraver known for his precision and artistic finesse.

The engraving "Jacobs Well at Shechem" specifically captures the historical and religious site believed to be the location where Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman, as recounted in the Gospel of John. The well, situated in the ancient city of Shechem (modern-day Nablus, West Bank), holds significant importance in both Christian and Jewish traditions. Roberts' depiction of the well is not merely a representation of a physical location but also an artistic endeavor to convey the spiritual and historical essence of the site.

Louis Haghe's engraving technique brings Roberts' original sketches to life with remarkable clarity and depth. The intricate details and careful shading in the lithograph highlight the architectural elements and the surrounding landscape, providing viewers with a vivid sense of place. The collaboration between Roberts and Haghe resulted in a collection that was highly praised for its artistic quality and historical accuracy, making "The Holy Land" a valuable resource for both art enthusiasts and historians.

Published in 1842, "The Holy Land" quickly gained acclaim for its comprehensive and visually stunning portrayal of the Middle East. The collection, including "Jacobs Well at Shechem," played a significant role in shaping Western perceptions of the region during the 19th century. Today, these works are appreciated not only for their artistic merit but also for their contribution to the documentation and understanding of historical sites in the Holy Land.
