View of the Dead Sea from the Temple Square in Jerusalem
by CSONTVÁRY KOSZTKA, Tivadar, Oil on canvas, 127 x 262 cm
A descriptive picture like this is highly unusual in Csontv�ry’s oevre. The picture can be considered as a preliminary study for “Baalbek” (1906). It was seriously damaged during the war. Restoration failed to recover its original atmosphere.
