David Roberts, a Scottish painter known for his extensive travels through the Near East, captured this view during his 1839 expedition. The composition employs a high vantage point, allowing the viewer to observe the fortified walls of the city, the minaret, and the expansive water surface stretching toward the distant, arid hills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoberts utilised a delicate watercolour technique to render the atmospheric conditions of the region. The palette consists of muted ochres, soft blues, and earthy browns, which accurately reflect the sun-drenched terrain of the Levant. In the foreground, a group of figures rests upon a rocky outcrop, providing a sense of scale and human presence against the vast, quiet geography. The artist balanced the architectural details of the city with the sweeping, open forms of the surrounding hills, demonstrating his skill in topographical observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece belongs to a series of sketches and finished watercolours that Roberts produced to document the biblical and historical sites of the Holy Land. His work provided nineteenth-century British audiences with a visual record of regions that were then largely inaccessible to the general public. The precision of the drawing, combined with the subtle washes of colour, captures the stillness of the scene. It remains a precise historical record of the site as it appeared in the mid-nineteenth century, before the significant urban expansion that occurred in later decades. The work is characteristic of the period's interest in documenting distant cultures and historical geographies through a disciplined, observational approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/es\/products\/view-from-the-chapel-rosalie-rudolf-von-alt\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eView from the Chapel Rosalie by Rudolf von Alt\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/es\/products\/santa-maria-della-salute-from-across-the-bacino-venice-edward-lear\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSanta Maria Della Salute from across the Bacino, Venice by Edward Lear\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/es\/collections\/david-roberts\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDavid Roberts artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David Roberts","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59186964037967,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59186979668303,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59186979701071,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59186979733839,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59186979766607,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59186979799375,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59186979832143,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59186979864911,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59186979897679,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59186979930447,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59186979963215,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59186979995983,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/City-of-Tiberias-on-the-Sea-of-Galilee_Poster_CompositorV1_1792305184255.jpg?v=1792400637","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/es\/products\/city-of-tiberias-on-the-sea-of-galilee-david-roberts","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
