Palestine: 'The Citadel of Jerusalem, without the Walls, Tower of David'. Colour lithograph by David Roberts (24 October 1796 - 25 November 1864), c. 1839. David Roberts RA was a Scottish painter. He is especially known for a prolific series of detailed prints of Egypt and the Near East that he produced during the 1840s from sketches he made during long tours of the region (1838–1840). This work, and his large oil paintings of similar subjects, made him a prominent Orientalist painter. At the time of Roberts’ visit to Palestine, the country was briefly under Egyptian rule (1831-1841).
