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.

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...
