Gezicht op Jeruzalem vanaf Bethanië gezien 1852

François Stroobant's "Gezicht op Jeruzalem vanaf Bethanië gezien" (1852) is a lithograph depicting a panoramic view of Jerusalem from Bethany. The detailed cityscape showcases the city walls and prominent structures, while the foreground captures the rugged landscape of the surrounding hills, including a winding path and a few palm trees. This artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Stroobant's talent for capturing the beauty and grandeur of historical sites through a meticulous and realistic approach. His work, often depicting scenes from the Holy Land, was popular among travelers and those interested in Biblical history.
