"View from under the Portico of Temple of Edfou, Upper Egypt, plate 32 from Volume I of Egypt and Nubia" is an exquisite lithograph engraved by Louis Haghe, a prominent Belgian engraver, and published in 1846 by the renowned Scottish artist David Roberts. This work is part of the larger collection titled "Egypt and Nubia," which is celebrated for its detailed and picturesque depictions of the ancient monuments and landscapes of Egypt and Nubia.

David Roberts, who traveled extensively through Egypt and the Near East from 1838 to 1839, meticulously documented the architectural grandeur and cultural richness of the region through his sketches and paintings. His works were later transformed into lithographs by Louis Haghe, whose skillful engravings brought Roberts' visions to life with remarkable clarity and depth. The collaboration between Roberts and Haghe resulted in one of the most significant and influential series of 19th-century Orientalist art.

The "View from under the Portico of Temple of Edfou" specifically captures the majestic and imposing architecture of the Temple of Edfu, one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt, dedicated to the falcon god Horus. The perspective from under the portico emphasizes the grandeur and scale of the temple's columns and the intricate carvings that adorn them. The lithograph not only serves as a visual record of the temple's architectural splendor but also reflects the 19th-century European fascination with ancient Egyptian civilization.

Roberts' and Haghe's works were highly regarded for their artistic quality and historical accuracy, providing a valuable resource for both contemporary audiences and future generations. The publication of "Egypt and Nubia" played a crucial role in popularizing Egyptology and contributed to the Western world's understanding and appreciation of ancient Egyptian heritage. The lithographs, including the "View from under the Portico of Temple of Edfou," remain significant both as works of art and as historical documents, offering a glimpse into the awe-inspiring legacy of ancient Egypt.
