Artist
David RA Roberts
David RA Roberts is a British Romanticism artist. 20 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Traveler and watercolorist David RA Roberts captured distant landmarks in crisp detail during the 1830s–40s. His sheets show Petra’s sweeping ruins, the pink walls of Fontarabia, and the sunlit courts of St. Catherine’s Monastery on Mount Sinai, all rendered with careful line and translucent washes. Look next at Roberts’s View of Petra from the top of the Theatre to step inside his exacting, sun-bleached world.
