Beskrivning
En detaljerad akvarell av David Roberts som föreställer Petras antika klipphuggna arkitektur, fångad under hans expedition till Mellanöstern 1839.
David Roberts, en skotsk målare, reste till Mellanöstern 1839 för att dokumentera regionens arkitektoniska underverk. Detta verk fångar Petras klipphuggna fasader, en plats som fascinerade europeiska resenärer under 1800-talet. Roberts använde en precis, observationsbaserad metod och använde lätta akvarelltvättar för att definiera sandstensklipporna och de monumentala strukturerna som huggits direkt in i bergväggen.
Kompositionen fokuserar på samspelet mellan den massiva, vittrade arkitekturen och den vidsträckta, torra miljön. I förgrunden ger små figurer med kameler en känsla av skala, vilket kontrasterar den mänskliga närvaron mot de antika ruinernas enorma storlek. Konstnären använde en dämpad palett av ockra, sandbeige och mjuk grå för att återge de naturliga tonerna i den jordanska öknen. Hans teknik involverar delikata tuschkonturer kombinerat med subtil färgpåföring, en metod som gjorde det möjligt för honom att registrera arkitektoniska detaljer med noggrannhet samtidigt som han bibehöll en atmosfärisk kvalitet.
Detta verk är en del av den omfattande serie teckningar som Roberts producerade under sin expedition. Dessa verk litograferades senare av Louis Haghe och publicerades i flervolumsamlingen The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia. Trycken blev allmänt spridda och formade den västerländska uppfattningen om Mellanösterns geografi och historia under den viktorianska eran. Den ursprungliga akvarellen visar Roberts förmåga att balansera tekniskt teckningskunnande med ett skarpt öga för dramatiska kvaliteter av ljus och skugga i en ökenmiljö. Verket förblir en primär visuell dokumentation av platsen som den såg ut innan omfattande moderna arkeologiska ingrepp.

Artist Biography
David Roberts
Roberts started as a house painter's apprentice in Edinburgh, decorating walls for a living. By his mid-twenties he was painting stage scenery for the theatre, which taught him how to construct architectural space at scale. J.M.W. Turner saw his work and told him to stop painting sets and become a proper artist. He listened.
In 1838 he sailed for Egypt and spent the next two years travelling through the Middle East, filling sketchbooks with drawings of temples, mosques, ruins and desert landscapes that almost no British artist had recorded before. To enter the mosques he had to shave off his sideburns, leave his hog-hair brushes behind (the pig being unclean), and wear traditional Arab clothing while he worked. He was one of the first Europeans allowed to paint inside a mosque.
The sketches became The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt and Nubia, a series of 247 lithograph plates produced in collaboration with the printer Louis Haghe between 1842 and 1849. He funded the project through advance subscriptions, soliciting them personally. Queen Victoria was subscriber number one. Her complete set is still in the Royal Collection.
The lithographs gave Europeans their first detailed visual record of the ancient Near East. They were bought as art, used as reference by scholars, and shaped the Western imagination of Egypt and Palestine for the rest of the century.
His personal life was less composed. His wife Margaret became an alcoholic and in 1831 he sent her back to Scotland to be cared for by friends. He raised their daughter Christine largely alone. He was elected to the Royal Academy in 1841, a considerable achievement for a man who had started painting houses, and worked steadily until his death in 1864.
