Baalbek. The Circular Temple 

This watercolor painting by David Roberts depicts the ruins of the ancient Roman temple complex in Baalbek, Lebanon. The artist, known for his romantic landscapes, captures the grandeur of the architectural remains against a hazy, atmospheric background. The foreground features a small stream and figures, adding a sense of scale and human presence to the otherwise monumental setting. The scene evokes a sense of timelessness and the enduring power of past civilizations.
