19th-Century Chromolithograph of Bethlehem – Biblical Landscape of 1862
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: 19th-Century Chromolithograph of Bethlehem – Biblical Landscape After David Roberts Description: This remarkable 19th-century chromolithograph presents a sweeping and historically significant view of Bethlehem, one of the most revered locations in Christian history. 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 renowned British artist David Roberts (1796–1864), whose breathtaking illustrations of biblical sites remain highly sought after by collectors. The scene captures the rugged and rolling hills leading to Bethlehem, with its ancient buildings and religious structures nestled among the rocky terrain. The foreground features a winding path where travelers on foot and horseback make their way toward the city, while the distant mountains add depth and grandeur to the composition. Notably, the Church of the Nativity, one of the oldest and most significant Christian sites, can be seen among the buildings, emphasizing the town's deep historical and spiritual significance. The chromolithographic technique used in this print allows for subtle color variations and fine detailing, bringing the landscape to life with a soft, naturalistic palette. This piece is particularly appealing to collectors of biblical art, historical views of the Holy Land, and 19th-century travel prints...
