Koepel van de Hemelvaart op de Tempelberg in Jeruzalem 1867 - 1885

Félix Bonfils's "Koepel van de Hemelvaart op de Tempelberg in Jeruzalem" is a 19th-century photograph depicting the Dome of the Ascension on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The photograph, taken between 1867 and 1885, shows a detailed view of the white stone structure with its distinctive dome and arched entrance. The image provides a glimpse into the architectural and religious significance of the site, a place of pilgrimage for both Muslims and Christians. Bonfils, a prominent photographer of the Middle East, captured the beauty and historical importance of the location in this evocative photograph, now housed at the Rijksmuseum.
