Gezicht op het meer van Tiberias 1852

This lithograph by François Stroobant depicts a panoramic view of the Sea of Tiberias from a high vantage point. Created in 1852, the artwork showcases the artist’s keen eye for detail and understanding of landscape. Stroobant, a renowned 19th-century artist, captures the vast expanse of the water body, with a town nestled on the shore and hills rolling in the distance. The serene depiction, with its subtle tonal gradations and atmospheric perspective, embodies the romanticism prevalent in the era. Today, the lithograph, housed in the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to Stroobant's masterful portrayal of landscapes and his fascination with the Levant.
