Born into difficult economic circumstances, David Roberts began painting surfaces at the age of eight. By imitating wood and marble, David contributed to the Roberts family's household income. Roberts began an apprenticeship with a decoration painter, left his Scottish homeland and made a name for himself as a painter of stage decorations. David had already made it into the best theatre houses in London when he exhibited his first oil painting in 1824.
Roberts first attracted great attention with the painting "The Interior of Rouen Cathedral". The talent David revealed with this painting induced him to dedicate himself to studio painting. Private commissions enabled David Roberts to pursue his second passion, travelling. He was regularly drawn back to Scotland, but he also visited Germany, the Netherlands and France on his way to the Orient.
Roberts processes the impressions of his travels in his most important works. "The Temple of Isis on the Island of Philes" shows the impressive architecture of the building and is a testimony to Egyptian culture. David Roberts regularly presented his travel sketches not only as illustrations, he also wrote a text about what he had experienced and thus became the author of a series of impressive travel guides. A crowning conclusion of his journey was a trip on the Nile. Robert's talent for landscape painting is clearly shown in the painting "Approaching Sandstorm in Giza".
