Painting Description
"Entrance To The Tombs Of The Kings Of Thebes, Biban-el-molook" 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, celebrated for his detailed and evocative depictions of architectural and historical sites across Europe and the Near East. His works are particularly noted for their historical accuracy and artistic grandeur, capturing the essence of the locations he visited.
This particular lithograph is part of Roberts' extensive series of works produced during his travels in Egypt and the Holy Land between 1838 and 1839. These travels were meticulously documented and later published in a series of volumes titled "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia," with lithographs produced by Louis Haghe, one of the leading lithographers of the time. The series was highly influential and remains a significant contribution to the visual documentation of 19th-century Middle Eastern and North African landscapes and monuments.
The lithograph "Entrance To The Tombs Of The Kings Of Thebes, Biban-el-molook" specifically depicts the entrance to the Valley of the Kings, known in Arabic as Biban-el-Molook, which translates to "Gates of the Kings." This valley, located on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor, Egypt, served as the burial site for pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom (16th to 11th century BCE). Roberts' depiction captures the grandeur and solemnity of the site, emphasizing the monumental scale of the tomb entrances carved into the rocky cliffs.
Roberts' work is characterized by its precise attention to detail and dramatic use of light and shadow, which together create a sense of awe and reverence for the ancient structures. His lithographs not only serve as artistic masterpieces but also as valuable historical records, providing insight into the appearance and condition of these ancient sites during the 19th century. The lithograph remains a testament to Roberts' skill as an artist and his dedication to documenting the world's architectural heritage.
