Camels & beauty in The Holy Land via David Roberts' brushes

 Salvete Omnes,



the last day of May 2024 - and to finish off this month of camels , I have selected some artwork by David Roberts(1796-1864), a Brtish painter and draughtsman,  from his opus magnum - The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia. - from the Holy Land - land of Israel and Palestine, Jordan and Lebanon, Syria & Egypt - in the 1830s AD. 









Amazing skills of observation and composition,  sure hand and careful-for-detail eye - simply put, these works are simply wonderful. 

unusually, the campgrounds & tents  -
