Gezicht op Tiberias, links het Meer van Tiberias 1857

"Gezicht op Tiberias, links het Meer van Tiberias" (View of Tiberias, the Sea of Galilee on the Left) is an 1857 photograph by renowned British photographer Francis Frith. This salt print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a scenic view of Tiberias, a city in Israel, overlooking the Sea of Galilee. The photo, taken from a northerly perspective, showcases the town nestled against a hillside with the ruins of a fortress in the foreground and the shimmering waters of the lake stretching out in the distance. Frith's detailed and evocative portrayal of Tiberias, capturing the architectural remnants and the natural landscape, provides a glimpse into the region's history and geography.
