Painting Description
The "Triumphal Arch crossing the Ravine leading to Petra, plate 95 from Volume III of The Holy Land" is a notable work engraved by Louis Haghe (1806-1885) and published in 1849 by David Roberts. This piece is part of a larger collection of lithographs that document Roberts' travels through the Middle East, specifically focusing on the ancient city of Petra, which is located in present-day Jordan.
David Roberts, a Scottish painter, embarked on a journey to the Near East in the early 19th century, capturing the architectural and cultural marvels of the region through his detailed sketches and paintings. His works were later transformed into lithographs by Louis Haghe, a Belgian engraver renowned for his precision and artistry. The collaboration between Roberts and Haghe resulted in "The Holy Land," a series of volumes that offered a comprehensive visual record of the region's historical and biblical sites.
Plate 95, titled "Triumphal Arch crossing the Ravine leading to Petra," depicts one of the many architectural wonders of Petra, a city carved into rose-red cliffs by the Nabataeans over 2,000 years ago. The triumphal arch illustrated in this plate is a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of Nabataean engineering and artistry. The ravine, known as the Siq, serves as the main entrance to Petra and is a narrow, winding gorge that opens up to reveal the iconic Treasury (Al-Khazneh).
Roberts' depiction of the arch and the surrounding landscape captures the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, emphasizing the rugged beauty and historical significance of Petra. The meticulous engraving by Haghe further enhances the depth and texture of the scene, bringing Roberts' vision to life with remarkable clarity and detail.
This lithograph, like others in the series, played a crucial role in introducing the Western world to the splendors of the Middle East during the 19th century. It remains an important historical document, offering insights into the architectural heritage and natural beauty of one of the world's most famous archaeological sites.
