Painting Description
"Temple on Gebel Garabe, called Surabit el Khadim, February 17th 1839, plate 119 from Volume III of The Holy Land" is a notable lithograph by the Scottish artist David Roberts, with the engraving executed by the Belgian lithographer Louis Haghe. Published in 1849, this work is part of a larger collection of lithographs that were included in Roberts's seminal publication "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia." The lithograph depicts the ancient temple ruins on Gebel Garabe, also known as Serabit el-Khadim, located in the southwestern part of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt.
David Roberts (1796–1864) was a distinguished landscape artist, renowned for his detailed sketches and paintings of the Near East and the Mediterranean region. His journey through these lands in the early 1830s resulted in a wealth of visual documentation of historical and biblical sites. The lithographs produced from his works were among the first to present the Western world with visual scenes from these remote locations, contributing significantly to the 19th-century Orientalism movement in European art.
Louis Haghe (1806–1885) was a prominent lithographer and watercolorist, who collaborated with Roberts to bring his detailed drawings to a wider audience through the medium of lithography. Haghe's skill in capturing the nuances of Roberts's original works played a crucial role in the success of the published volumes.
The image of the "Temple on Gebel Garabe" is particularly significant as it captures the remnants of an ancient Egyptian temple dedicated to the goddess Hathor, who was worshipped as the patroness of miners. The site, known for its turquoise mines, was an important location for the ancient Egyptians, and the temple served as a center for mining expeditions during the Middle and New Kingdom periods.
Roberts's depiction of the temple is both artistically and historically valuable, providing insight into the state of the ruins as they stood in the 19th century. The lithograph is characterized by its attention to detail and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, which was a hallmark of Roberts's artistic style. It serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with Egypt's ancient civilization and the broader allure of the Holy Land during the Victorian era.
The lithograph "Temple on Gebel Garabe, called Surabit el Khadim, February 17th 1839, plate 119 from Volume III of The Holy Land" is not only an important work of art but also a document of historical and archaeological significance. It continues to be appreciated by art enthusiasts, historians, and scholars for its aesthetic beauty and as a record of the past.
