Palestine: 'Jerusalem'. Colour lithograph by David Roberts (24 October 1796 - 25 November 1864), c. 1840. David Roberts RA was a Scottish painter. He is especially known for a prolific series of detailed prints of Egypt and the Near East that he produced during the 1840s from sketches he made during long tours of the region (1838-1840). This work, and his large oil paintings of similar subjects, made him a prominent Orientalist painter. At the time of Roberts’ visit to Palestine, the country was briefly under Egyptian rule (1831-1841) after Mohammed Ali had seized the Levant.
