Description
1698 de Bruijin View of Rama (Ramallah), Israel (Palestine, Holy Land). A rare 1698 view of w:en:Ramla by Dutch artist Cornelius de Bruijin. Depicts the city as well as the nearby caravan staging grounds. Arab horsemen and tent camps decorate the foreground. This view was most likely rendered in secret during de Bruijins 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.
