Straat met bogen in Jeruzalem c. 1867 - 1877

"Straat met bogen in Jeruzalem" is a photograph by Félix Bonfils, a French photographer who specialized in documenting the Middle East. This photograph, taken between 1867 and 1877, depicts a street in Jerusalem, showcasing a series of arches that lead the viewer's eye to a distant figure. The use of light and shadow enhances the sense of depth and perspective, making the viewer feel like they are walking through the passageway themselves. This work is an example of Bonfils' photographic exploration of the Middle East and provides a glimpse into the architecture and everyday life of Jerusalem during the 19th century. It is currently part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam.
