EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Lions Gate in Jerusalem, dating back to 1857. The photograph, taken by James Robertson and Felice Beato, showcases the remarkable stonework and architectural beauty of this historic landmark. Also known as St. Stephen's Gate or Sheep Gate, it is one of the seven open gates found within Jerusalem's Old City Walls. The Lions Gate holds immense historical significance as it marks the beginning of Via Dolorosa, the path Jesus took while carrying his cross to his crucifixion. Adding a touch of intrigue to its name are four panthers that were mistakenly believed to be lions. These panthers were added by Suleiman the Magnificent after defeating the Mamluks in 1517. The image portrays a sense of grandeur with its towering archway and fortified ramparts that have stood strong for centuries. It offers viewers a glimpse into Middle Eastern history and architecture at its finest. This stunning photograph is part of a private collection but has been made available through www. bridgemanart. com for public appreciation. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide who appreciate both its aesthetic value and historical context.
