About the Item

Title: 19th-Century Chromolithograph of the Sea of Tiberias – Biblical Landscape After David Roberts Description: This beautiful 19th-century chromolithograph offers a sweeping view of the Sea of Tiberias (also known as the Sea of Galilee), one of the most historically and religiously significant bodies of water in the world. The print originates from the 1862 publication *De Middelaar God en der Menschen - Tafereelen uit Jezus' Leven en Werk op Aarde* by J.J.L. Ten Kate, published by Gebroeders Kraay in Amsterdam. The artwork is based on an original plate by the renowned British artist David Roberts (1796–1864), whose celebrated views of biblical sites have captivated collectors and historians for generations. The scene masterfully captures the landscape surrounding the Sea of Tiberias, with rugged hills descending towards the shoreline, where the ancient town is depicted with its buildings, fortifications, and small harbor. In the foreground, a group of travelers pauses on a rocky outcrop, gazing over the serene waters. The distant mountains and sky are rendered in delicate tones, creating an atmospheric depth that enhances the composition’s tranquility. The chromolithographic technique used in this print allowed for nuanced shading and soft, natural color variations, making it a highly desirable example of 19th-century printing craftsmanship. This piece is particularly appealing to collectors of biblical art, historical landscapes, and travelers' views of the Holy Land, offering both artistic and historical value. Condition: Some foxing and age-related toning on the margins; image remains clean with good contrast and detail. Matting and Framing Tips: A soft cream or antique white mat will complement the natural tones of the print, while a dark wood or gold-leaf frame will enhance its classic appeal.

Tiberias from the Walls: David Roberts' 19th C. Hand-colored Lithograph

By David Roberts

Located in Alamo, CA

This is an original 19th century hand-colored lithograph entitled "Tiberias from the Walls, Saffet (Safed) in the Distance" by David Roberts, from his Egypt and Nubia volumes of the large folio edition, published in London by F. G. Moon in 1841. The lithographs were prepared by Louis Haghe (1806-1885) from drawings and paintings by Roberts.
