Description
Edizione: from one of the most desirable of all travel and colourplate books. this is an especially attractive plate showing one of the best preserved temples in egypt. the temple, dedicated to the falcon god horus, was built in the ptolemaic period between 237 and 57 bc. the temple is located on the west bank of the nile in the city of edfu which was known in greco-roman times as apollonopolis magna, after the chief god horus-apollo. the temple of edfu is the largest temple dedicated to horus.<br> we have a good number of impressive images from the standard folio edition of this classic work available for purchase. as well as many views of egypt there are also views available of tyre, nubia, petra, sinai, the jordan, sidon and baalbec. please inquire for further details.<br> in the course of two and a half months in 1838, traveling some 800 miles south from cairo, roberts recorded the monumental temple sites along the nile in more than a hundred sketches. as the first british artist to sketch the monuments of ancient egypt, set on "plains so vast.that, until you come near them, you have no idea of their magnificence," roberts was well aware of the stir his drawings would create in london. according to john ruskin, writing in praeterita, roberts's drawings "were the first studies ever made conscientiously by an english painter, not to exhibit his own skill, but to give true portraiture of scenes of historical and religious interest."
