Richard Pene Spiers
Tombs of St James and Zacharias, Valley of Jehoshaphat, Jerusalem

About the Item

Graphite and watercolour on paper Signed lower right Image size: 12 1/4 x 8 1/2 (31 x 22 cm) These are two of four sepulchres in the Valley of Jehoshaphat, on the east side of the Kedron. The tomb of St James, seen on the far left, is an excavated tomb with an ornamental portal. The façade exhibits two Doric columns, fronting the west, and raised about fifteen feet above the ground in the same ledge of rock. The cavern is fifteen feet high by ten broad, and extends back about fifty feet. The monkish opinion is that it was into this cavern the Apostle James retired during the interval between the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. Jehoshaphat, situated on the right of the image, is a thirteen metre tall monument that was built during the first century AD. According to Jewish tradition it is believed to be the tomb of the priest Zechariah ben Jehoiada, whom the Book of Chronicles claims to have been stoned. The other tombs are named Absalom and Zachariah.
