Painting Description
"Kom Ombo" is a renowned lithograph created by the Scottish painter David Roberts in the mid-19th century. David Roberts, born in 1796, was a prolific artist known for his detailed and evocative depictions of architectural and historical sites, particularly those in the Middle East and North Africa. His works are celebrated for their accuracy, artistic merit, and the insight they provide into the landscapes and monuments of the time.
The lithograph "Kom Ombo" is part of Roberts' extensive series of illustrations that document his travels in Egypt and the Near East, which he undertook between 1838 and 1839. These travels were meticulously recorded in his sketches and paintings, later transformed into lithographs by Louis Haghe, a master lithographer. The series was published in the monumental work "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia," which appeared in multiple volumes between 1842 and 1849.
Kom Ombo, the subject of this particular lithograph, is an ancient Egyptian temple complex located in the Aswan Governorate of Upper Egypt. The temple is unique in its dedication to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon-headed god. Roberts' depiction captures the grandeur and mystique of the temple ruins, highlighting the intricate carvings and the imposing columns that have stood the test of time. His work not only serves as an artistic achievement but also as a valuable historical record, offering a glimpse into the state of these ancient structures in the 19th century.
Roberts' "Kom Ombo" is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its contribution to the Western understanding and appreciation of Egyptian antiquities. His works played a significant role in the 19th-century fascination with Egyptology, influencing both contemporary and later perceptions of ancient Egyptian culture and architecture. Through his detailed and evocative lithographs, David Roberts has left an enduring legacy that continues to captivate art enthusiasts and historians alike.
