PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The thousands of pilgrims and tourists who visit the Holy Land each year are often overwhelmed by the 21st century landscape, the high rise towns, the modern infrastructures. What, if anything, remains of the land that was so familiar to Jesus?
From the work of nineteenth century landscape painters, we can get an impression of first century Palestine, as from censuses we know that the population remained virtually unchanged through those nineteen centuries.
In The Land Jesus Knew we have placed the work of artists Gustav Bauerfeind, Nathaniel Green, David Roberts, Van der Velde and Carl Werner alongside the modern photographes of Jon Arnold to graphically illustrate how some of the sites of biblical times have hardly changed at all, while others have become virtually unrecognisable in the last 150 years.
