About the Item
Title: 19th-Century Chromolithograph of Nazareth – Biblical Landscape After David Roberts
Description:
This fine chromolithograph presents a picturesque view of Nazareth, the historic town in Galilee known as the childhood home of Jesus Christ. 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 detailed and atmospheric depictions of biblical and Middle Eastern landscapes have made him one of the most celebrated travel artists of the 19th century.
The scene captures Nazareth nestled among rolling hills, its white-washed buildings and church spire standing out against the soft tones of the surrounding landscape. In the foreground, a caravan of travelers with pack animals moves along a winding path, adding an element of daily life and movement to the serene biblical setting. Roberts’ masterful sense of perspective and architectural detail is evident, bringing a strong sense of authenticity and historical accuracy to the composition.
What makes this print particularly interesting is its use of chromolithography, a highly detailed and time-consuming color printing technique that was developed in the 19th century. This method allowed for rich tonal variations and subtle shading, giving the image a soft, painterly quality that is rarely found in earlier lithographic prints. The composition effectively conveys the peacefulness and timelessness of this sacred site, making it a captivating piece for collectors of biblical art, historical landscapes, or 19th-century travel illustrations.
Condition: Mild foxing and age-related toning on the margins; image remains clean with good detail.
Matting and Framing Tips: A neutral or cream-colored mat will highlight the warm tones of the print, while an antique-style gold or dark wood frame will enhance its historical charm.

1862 Chromolithograph of Cana – Biblical Landscape in Southern Lebanon
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: 19th-Century Chromolithograph of Cana – Biblical Landscape After David Roberts
Description: This striking 19th-century chromolithograph presents a breathtaking view of Cana, the site traditionally associated with Jesus' first miracle—the transformation of water into wine at a wedding feast. 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 composition is based on an original plate by the esteemed British artist David Roberts (1796–1864), whose highly detailed and atmospheric depictions of the Holy Land remain among the most celebrated travel illustrations of the 19th century.
The scene captures a dramatic and expansive view of the rolling hills and fertile valleys surrounding Cana, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the landscape’s depth, creating a peaceful yet awe-inspiring atmosphere. In the foreground, a small group of figures rests near a stone well, symbolizing the region’s historical connection to water and its biblical significance. To the right, a caravan of travelers on horseback winds its way down a rugged path, emphasizing the area's continued role as a crossroads of pilgrimage and trade. In the distance, the smoke rising from the village adds a human presence to the otherwise untouched landscape.
The chromolithographic process used in this print allows for exceptional tonal variation and soft gradations of color, making it a fine example of 19th-century craftsmanship. This piece is particularly appealing to collectors of biblical art, historical views of the Holy Land, and 19th-century travel prints...
