EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ruins of Baalbec on May 5th, 1839. Taken from Volume II of The Holy Land, this image is plate 77, beautifully engraved by Louis Haghe. Published in 1843, it showcases the incredible talent of David Roberts as he captures the essence of this ancient site. The photograph depicts a mesmerizing landscape filled with smoking pipes and Arab figures amidst the grandeur of Baalbec's ruins. The orientalist elements are evident in their traditional attire and the overall ambiance created by Roberts' artistic vision. At the forefront stands a magnificent temple dedicated to Bacchus, its majestic columns reaching towards the sky. The intricate details of each stone are brought to life through Haghe's lithographic technique, allowing viewers to appreciate every aspect of this architectural marvel. As we delve deeper into this scene, we can almost imagine ourselves walking through these historic grounds. The portico invites us to explore further while offering shelter from both sun and rain. This particular print comes from a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection and is now available for public viewing thanks to Bridgeman Images. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations when it comes to capturing moments frozen in time like this one at Baalbec.
