Painting Description
"Jerusalem from the South, April 12th 1839" is an evocative and historically significant engraving that forms part of the renowned collection "The Holy Land," published in 1842.

David Roberts embarked on a grand tour of the Middle East in 1838, capturing the essence of the region through a series of sketches and paintings. His journey took him through Egypt, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Levant, including the ancient city of Jerusalem. Roberts' works are particularly noted for their historical accuracy and artistic merit, providing a visual documentation of the landscapes and architecture of the 19th century Middle East.

The meticulous work of Louis Haghe in translating Roberts' original sketches into engravings is evident in the fine lines and shading that bring the scene to life.
The publication of "The Holy Land" was a significant event in the 19th century, as it provided the European audience with a visual representation of the biblical and historical sites of the Middle East.
