About the Item
This colorful and vivid painting depicting Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, with a forecourt crowded with priests and onlookers, is by Henry Soulen, one of the great masters of illustration art in the early 20th century. The painting also depicts a large basin of water supported on the backs of bronze bulls, as described in ancient scripture. Soulen probably painted this for "A Pilgrimage to Palestine" by Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, a progressive clergyman who founded and led Riverside Church in Manhattan, funded by John D. Rockefeller. Soulen was a member of the Brandywine School founded by Howard Pyle and led by painters such as N. C. Wyeth. The painting is gouache on thin paper, mounted on artist board.
