Jerusalem the Holy City Illuminated Framed Print
The city at the heart of the crusades.
For the crusaders, Jerusalem was the goal of every march and the centre of the world. After its capture in 1099 it became the capital of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, home to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and headquarters of the Knights Templar.
Drawn in the style of the round city maps of medieval Jerusalem and rendered in deep blue, gold and crimson, this piece shows the city walls and their five gates, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Tower of David, the Hospital of St John, the Temple of the Lord, and the Temple of Solomon, seat of the Templars. Beyond the walls lie the Valley of Jehoshaphat, the Mount of Olives and Mount Zion.
Rich, elegant and beautifully detailed, it is a meaningful piece for any home and a special gift for those with a love of faith and history.
Printed on premium matte paper with a rich, glare-free finish, and set in a dark wood frame, ready to hang.
