Continental 20th century oil painting of Jerusalem
Continental, 20th Century
Canvas: Height 53cm, width 78cm
Frame: Height 60cm, width 84cm, depth 4cm
This captivating landscape painting presents a sweeping panoramic view of Jerusalem as observed from the elevated vantage point of the Mount of Olives. The ancient city walls stretch horizontally across the centre of the canvas, creating a visual divide between the textured, mountainous foreground and the intricate cityscape beyond.
To the right of the composition, the Dome of the Rock emerges as a focal point, anchoring the scene with its presence. Beneath it, a winding, sunlit path cuts through the terrain, guiding the viewer's eye into the depths of the landscape. Along this route, a group of travellers animates the scene—three women carrying produce descend from the hills, while two men approach from the opposite direction. Their flowing garments, painted in radiant hues of purple, turquoise, yellow, and blue, mirror the architectural colours of the city and infuse the canvas with a harmonious, gemstone-like glow.
Executed in a layered, atmospheric style that favours tonal richness over precise linearity, the painting exudes a soft luminosity that enhances its dreamlike quality. Housed in a refined giltwood frame, the piece offers both aesthetic charm and cultural resonance.
This evocative portrayal of one of the world’s most iconic cityscapes would make a distinguished addition to any collection of antique or 19th-century Orientalist art.

Orientalist oil painting of Damascus Gate in Jerusalem by Macco
German, Early 20th Century
Frame: Height 66cm, width 84cm. depth 8cm
Canvas: Height 42cm, width 59cm
Imagined and brought to life by German artist and illustrator, Georg Macco (1863-1933), this captivating Orientalist oil-on-canvas painting showcases the vibrant scene at the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem.
Depicting a bustling thoroughfare, the canvas is alive with the energy of traders and their vibrant market stalls lining either side of the street. Amidst this animated marketplace are animals like goats and chickens, adding a further layer of authenticity to the scene, and showcasing the artist’s masterful range. A focal point is an elderly man, clad in warm shades of brown and beige, complemented by a vivid head scarf, as he ambles towards the viewer. Adjacent to him, a woman is immersed in a negotiation with a market vendor for an array of fruits and vegetables.
Further in the backdrop, a colourful assemblage of individuals can be seen, swathed in a rainbow palette of red, yellow, brown, and blue. Their activities range from strolling towards the viewer, moving into the distance, or engaged in lively discussions.
The painting's left side offers a more serene ambiance, with fewer market stalls and people. It features a female figure seated beside a stack of brown bags...

Large Edward Ben Avram Israeli Bezalel School Jerusalem Landscape Oil Painting
By Edward Ben Avram
Located in Surfside, FL
Jerusalem Israeli landscape cityscape with the Har Habayit, The Temple Mount.
Size includes frame. canvas is 37.5 X 42.5
Edward Ben Avram (born 1941) is an Indian - Israeli artist who was born in Bombay, India and immigrated to Israel as a teenager. He graduated from the Bezalel School of Art and Design in 1965 and continues to call Jerusalem his home. Most of Ben Avraham oil painting and watercolors portrays Israeli cities, particularly the old city of Jerusalem with its architecture and orientalist domes and arches, religious festivals, and Bible stories. He paints in creamy sensual tones incorporating symbols such as doves, a menorah, and Shabbat candles. With his penchant for filigreed designs and bright colors, Edouard Ben Avram betrays some influences of his Indian boyhood. But the subjects that he paints so gracefully with a touch of Oriental lyricism are scenes of Jerusalem, his home for over 20 years.
