Jérusalem: Église de Sainte Marie Madeleine (Jerusalem: Church of St. Mary Magdalene)

Auguste Salzmann

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an ancient ruin from an elevated perspective. The horizon is high, with a sloping hill covered in scattered vegetation. The stone ruins, walls, rubble, and overgrown areas are visible. The stones look weathered, with a grayscale color palette, creating a historical appearance. The composition leads the eye from the stonework to the distant landscape.
