David Roberts, a renowned 19th-century British artist, captured the grandeur of the ancient city of Petra in his watercolor painting "Views of FA-Khasne, Petra." This artwork, likely created during Roberts' travels through the Middle East, depicts the Treasury, a monumental façade carved into the sandstone cliffs, showcasing the intricate architectural details and the dramatic landscape of this historical site. Roberts' masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting the intricate carvings and the monumental scale of the Treasury, while adding a touch of romanticism to this ancient wonder.
