"View under the Grand Portico, Philae" is a distinguished lithograph by the Scottish artist David Roberts, featured in the first volume of his seminal work "Egypt and Nubia," published between 1846 and 1849. David Roberts, renowned for his detailed and evocative depictions of Middle Eastern and North African landscapes and monuments, embarked on a journey to Egypt and the Near East in 1838. His travels resulted in a prolific collection of sketches and studies, which were later transformed into lithographs by Louis Haghe, one of the leading lithographers of the time.

The lithograph "View under the Grand Portico, Philae" captures the majestic and serene atmosphere of the Temple of Philae, located on an island in the Nile River. The temple complex, dedicated to the goddess Isis, was a significant religious site in ancient Egypt, and its grand portico is one of the most iconic features. Roberts' depiction is notable for its meticulous attention to architectural detail and the interplay of light and shadow, which brings the ancient structure to life.

Roberts' work is not only artistically significant but also serves as an important historical document. At the time of his visit, many of the sites he depicted were in a state of disrepair, and some have since been altered or relocated due to modern developments, such as the construction of the Aswan High Dam. His lithographs provide a valuable visual record of these ancient monuments as they appeared in the 19th century.

"Egypt and Nubia" was highly acclaimed upon its release and remains a crucial reference for scholars and enthusiasts of Egyptology and 19th-century art. Roberts' ability to convey the grandeur and mystique of ancient Egyptian architecture has cemented his reputation as one of the foremost Orientalist artists of his time. The lithographs, including "View under the Grand Portico, Philae," continue to be celebrated for their artistic merit and historical significance.
