Jerusalem is a holy city for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Since ancient times, the area has been held sacred, particularly by the Europeans, and is visited by numerous pilgrims, who record their travel and paint its landscapes. From 1851 to the following year, former Dutch naval officer (Van de Velde) published a travelogue, created a survey map, and painted photo-realistic landscapes. This exhibition will display 33 items within the hundred lithographs and a simplified map in high precision digital version. It will display the tranquility of the holy land as it was before it came to be at the mercy of many international disputes.
