About the Item

Title: 19th-Century Chromolithograph of Jerusalem – View from the Road to Bethany After David Roberts Description: This remarkable 19th-century chromolithograph presents a panoramic view of Jerusalem as seen from the road to Bethany. 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 acclaimed British artist David Roberts (1796–1864), whose celebrated depictions of the Holy Land remain some of the most sought-after and historically significant representations of biblical landscapes. The scene captures the iconic city of Jerusalem in the distance, with its fortified walls, domes, and minarets rising above the surrounding hills. The foreground showcases a dramatic rocky valley with lush vegetation, leading the viewer’s eye toward the holy city. A small group of travelers is visible along the path, adding a dynamic element to the otherwise tranquil landscape. The soft tonal variations and careful shading create an atmospheric sense of depth, evoking both the grandeur and serenity of this ancient site. The chromolithographic process used in this print allowed for an extraordinary level of detail and color accuracy, making it a highly desirable example of 19th-century printmaking. This piece is particularly appealing to collectors of biblical art, historical views of Jerusalem, and those with an interest in 19th-century travel illustration. Condition: Mild foxing and age-related toning on the margins; image remains crisp with excellent clarity and contrast. Matting and Framing Tips: A neutral mat, such as ivory or cream, will enhance the warm tones of the print, while a dark wood or gold frame will provide a sophisticated and timeless presentation.
