EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the mystical Isle of Graie in the Gulf of Akabah, Arabia Petraea, on a serene February day in 1839. Plate 108 from Volume III of The Holy Land, engraved by the talented Louis Haghe and published in 1849, showcases the remarkable artistry of David Roberts. The image captures a breathtaking view of this medieval fortress known for its historical significance. Jeziret Faraun stands proudly amidst rocky terrain as waves crash against its sturdy walls. The castle's weathered appearance adds an air of mystery and intrigue to this enchanting landscape. In the foreground, camels leisurely graze along a sandy beach while their riders take respite from their journey. The scene is imbued with an orientalist charm that transports viewers to another time and place. Measuring at 34.3x50.3 cm, this exquisite lithograph is now part of a private collection but continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty. Its presence evokes a sense of wonderment and curiosity about distant lands steeped in history. Thanks to www. bridgemanart. com, we are able to appreciate and explore this remarkable piece without any commercial constraints or limitations. Let yourself be transported into the past as you immerse yourself in the rich details and vibrant colors captured within this extraordinary work by David Roberts.
