Description
English: A rare 1698 view of Bethlehem by Dutch artist Cornelius de Bruijin. Depicts the city as well as the nearby herding grounds. Arab horsemen, loungers, and a hunting dog roam in the foreground. This view was most likely rendered in secret during de Bruijin’s second world tour. The Holy Land was then under the control of the Ottoman Empire who imposed strict limitations on pilgrims and tourist from Europe. It is highly unlikely that de Bruijin would have been allowed to make sketches of the region openly.
