View of Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee
David Roberts·c. 1830
Historical Context
View of Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee from around 1830 by David Roberts depicts the Holy Land landscape that formed the centerpiece of his most famous published works. His lithographic views of the Holy Land were among the most popular travel publications of the Victorian era. His success with lithographic publications of his Middle Eastern travels made Roberts's images of ancient monuments available to a wide public and defined the Victorian visual imagination of the Holy Land and Egypt.
Technical Analysis
The biblical landscape is rendered with Roberts's characteristic combination of topographic accuracy and atmospheric poetry, the Sea of Galilee stretching into luminous distance.
