Beskrivning
En detaljerad litografi från 1839 av David Roberts som avbildar Petras forntida klipparkitektur i Jordanien, med figurer som vilar i förgrunden.
David Roberts, en skotsk målare, reste till Mellanöstern 1839 för att dokumentera arkitektoniska lämningar av forntida civilisationer. Detta verk fångar Petras dramatiska klippstrukturer i Jordanien. Kompositionen fokuserar på sandstensklippornas enorma skala, vilka dominerar horisonten och förminskar figurerna i förgrunden. Roberts använder en precis, avmätt metod för att återge de geologiska formationerna, med lätta laveringar för att antyda den torra atmosfären och ökens hårda sol.
I förgrunden vilar en liten grupp figurer nära en bäck, vilket ger en känsla av skala mot de massiva, vittrade stenfasaderna. Gravarnas och akropolens arkitektoniska detaljer är återgivna med klarhet, vilket speglar konstnärens bakgrund som scenmålare för teatrar. Denna tekniska utbildning gjorde det möjligt för honom att med noggrannhet överföra komplexa rumsliga relationer till papper. Paletten förblir återhållsam och förlitar sig på ockra, sandbeige och mjuka gråtoner för att förmedla stenens struktur och den torra miljön.
Detta tryck härstammar från serien "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia", som publicerades mellan 1842 och 1849. Litografierna producerades av Louis Haghe, som samarbetade nära med Roberts för att säkerställa att de tryckta versionerna bibehöll kvaliteten hos originalskisserna. Verket utgör en dokumentation av platsen som den såg ut i mitten av 1800-talet, innan omfattande moderna utgrävningar eller turism förändrade dalens utseende. Det är fortfarande ett primärt exempel på den topografiska dokumentation som definierade det europeiska intresset för Mellanöstern under den viktorianska eran.

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.
