Seller's Description
Original 1893 9 1/4 inch x 6 1/2 inch Tinted Engraving titled STAIRWAY OF THE MOSQUE AT HEBRON, WHICH ENSHRINES THE CAVE OF MAPELA
The Cave of the Patriarchs or Tomb of the Patriarchs, known to Jews as the Cave of Machpelah and to Muslims as the Sanctuary of Abraham, is a series of caves situated 19 miles south of Jerusalem in the heart of the Old City of Hebron in the West Bank.
From the painting by Herbert Gustave Schmalz (1856 - 1935). An English painter born in England to the German Consul, Gustave Schmalz, and his English wife, Margaret Carmichael. He received a conventional education in painting, first at the South Kensington Art School and later at the Royal Academy of Arts, where he studied with Frank Dicksee, Stanhope Forbes and Arthur Hacker. He perfected his studies in Antwerp at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. After his return to London he made a name for himself as a history painter, with a style influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites and orientalism. In 1884 he successfully exhibited his painting “Too Late” at the Royal Academy. After a voyage to Jerusalem in 1890 he made a series of paintings with New Testament topics, with Return from Calvary (1891) one of the best known.
