Attributed to David Roberts 1796-1864, An Entranceway at Karnak, 1977.24
Lithograph of David Roberts David Roberts RA (1796 – 1864) was a Scottish painter. He is especially known for a prolific series of detailed lithographic prints of Egypt and the Near East that he produced as watercolour sketches he made during long tours of the region between 1838 and 1840. These, along with his large format oil paintings of similar subjects, made him a prominent Orientalist artist. He became a Royal Academician in 1841. Roberts was born in 1796 in Stockbridge, near Edinburgh, where he was first apprenticed as a house painter. He became a scenic artist, active in the north, before moving to London in 1822. He became an inveterate traveller, his most celebrated expeditions being those to Spain and North Africa in 1832 – 33, and to Egypt and the Holy Land. His work became widely known through the prints made from his works. Roberts died in London in 1864. He left a Manuscript Journal and a ‘Thumbnail Sketch’ Journal, recording 252 of his oil paintings, which remain in private collections. 1832 – 33 Spain In 1832 David Roberts travelled to Spain and Tangiers. He returned at the end of 1833 with a supply of sketches that he elaborated into paintings that became very popular. He executed a series of Spanish illustrations for the “Landscape Annual” of 1836. Then in 1837 a selection of his “Picturesque Sketches of Spain” was reproduced by lithography by Hodgson & Graves of Pall Mall, London. 1838 – 52 Egypt and the Holy Land Roberts travelled to Egypt at the end of August 1838. His intent was to produce sketches he could later use as the basis for both paintings and for lithographs. Egypt was much in vogue at the time, and travellers, collectors, and lovers of antiquities were ken to buy works inspired by the east or depicting the great monuments of ancient Egypt. Roberts made a long tour of Egypt, Nubia, the Sinai, the Holy Land, Jordan and Lebanon. Throughout, he produced a vast collection of drawings and watercolour sketches. On his return to England, Roberts worked with lithographer Louis Haghe between 1842 and 1849 to produce the lavishly illustrated plates for the series “ The Holy Land,, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt & Nubia.” He funded the work through advance subscriptions, which he solicited directly. Roberts accumulated 400 subscription commitments, with Queen Victoria being Subscriber No. 1. Her complete set is still in the Royal Collection.

Artist David Roberts and Near Eastern Archaeology Dr. Patrick Hunt Scottish artist David Roberts (1796-1864) was instrumental in helping to stimulate a growing fascination with the Near East by Europeans, especially within British society where biblical accounts of the rise and fall of empires were familiar, as much intellectual fare as anything else and staple bread and butter for religious imagination. The Romantic Movement’s eschewing of Enlightenment ideals turned instead to exotic themes and ruins, also replacing Neoclassicism with Orientalism.

"Departure of the Israelites" by David Roberts is an epic portrayal of one of the most momentous events in biblical history — the exodus of the Hebrew people from Egypt. Roberts, a Scottish painter famed for his detailed landscape and architectural scenes, illustrates this mass migration with a sweeping grandeur that captures both the scale of the event and the emotional intensity of a people in search of liberation. His use of vivid color and attention to detail bring the narrative to life, encapsulating a story that has resonated through the ages. This poster print of Roberts' religious painting is a profound addition to any wall art collection, offering a glimpse into a journey that has shaped the foundations of many faiths. It’s an ideal piece for those drawn to the historical and religious significance of art. Whether it’s showcased in a living space, office, or place of worship, this portrait is not just a decoration but a conversation starter, inviting onlookers to consider the enduring legacy of the Israelites' exodus and the masterful representation of such an event by an artist like Roberts.
In the wake of the romantic historians who at the beginning of the 19th century rehabilitated antiquity and the Middle Ages, David Roberts, a Scottish painter, undertook the journey that would take him to Egypt and the Holy Land. Like Géricault, he will bring back more than 300 sketches from which he will draw with his team 247 lithographs. The resulting work, The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt and Nubia will be his life's work. Published between 1842 and 1849, this collection, composed of nearly 250 lithographs divided into six volumes, constitutes a masterpiece of color lithography. The lithographs are then enhanced by hand under the direction of the artist. **Frame and mat not included** We provide high-quality pictures so you can notice each detail of the prints. Please watch them carefully so you won’t miss any potential imperfection.
