"Ruins of Baalbec" is a renowned lithograph created by the Scottish artist David Roberts 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 celebrated for their accuracy, artistic merit, and the romanticism with which he portrayed his subjects.

The lithograph "Ruins of Baalbec" is part of Roberts' larger body of work that focuses on the ancient ruins and monumental architecture of the Middle East and North Africa. This particular piece captures the grandeur and mystique of Baalbek, an ancient Phoenician city located in modern-day Lebanon. Baalbek is famed for its well-preserved Roman temples, including the Temple of Bacchus and the Temple of Jupiter, which are among the largest and most impressive Roman temple ruins in the world.

Roberts visited Baalbek during his extensive travels in the region from 1838 to 1839, a journey that also took him to Egypt, the Holy Land, and other parts of the Levant. His travels were meticulously documented in sketches and notes, which he later used to create his lithographs. "Ruins of Baalbec" was published as part of his monumental work "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia," which was released in stages between 1842 and 1849. This collection was highly influential and remains a significant historical record of the sites he visited.

The lithograph itself is a testament to Roberts' skill in capturing the interplay of light and shadow, the intricate details of the ancient stonework, and the imposing scale of the ruins. His work not only provides a visual record of Baalbek's architectural splendor but also evokes a sense of the historical and cultural significance of the site. Through "Ruins of Baalbec," Roberts contributed to the 19th-century European fascination with the Orient and played a crucial role in shaping Western perceptions of Middle Eastern antiquities.
