British engagement with the region of the Near East in the nineteenth century was multi-faceted, and part of its complexity was exemplified in the powerful relationship between developing and diverse Protestant theologies, visual culture and imperial identity. Britain's Holy Land was visualised through pictorial representation which helped Christians to imagine the land in which familiar Bible stories took place. This book explores ways in which the geopolitical Holy Land was understood as embodying biblical land, biblical history and biblical typology. Through case studies of three British artists, David Roberts, David Wilkie and William Holman Hunt, this book provides a nuanced interpretation of some of the motivations, religious perspectives, attitudes and behaviours of British Protestants in their relationship with the Near East at the time.Britain and the World,2947-7190CivilizationHistoryReligionHistoryGreat BritainHistoryMiddle EastHistoryArtsCultural HistoryHistory of ReligionHistory of Britain and IrelandHistory of the Middle EastFine ArtCivilizationHistory.ReligionHistory.Great BritainHistory.Middle EastHistory.Arts.Cultural History.History of Religion.History of Britain and Ireland.History of the Middle East.Fine Art.274.1081900Burritt Amanda Mauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut897703MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910392718703321Visualising Britain’s Holy Land in the Nineteenth Century2005604UNINA
