"Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives" by Charles-Théodore Frère is a serene and expansive Orientalist landscape that captures the holy city with quiet grandeur and atmospheric clarity. Painted in the 19th century, the scene is viewed from the Mount of Olives, offering a sweeping panorama of Jerusalem bathed in golden light, with the iconic Dome of the Rock shimmering in the distance.

In the foreground, Frère includes Bedouins and camels resting beneath striped desert tents, grounding the sacred city in the rhythms of daily life. The contrast between the calm, human-scale encampment and the vast, walled city in the background evokes a powerful sense of timelessness and reverence.

Frère’s precise brushwork and subtle palette highlight not just geography, but the spiritual weight of place—capturing Jerusalem not as a bustling city, but as a symbol of continuity, devotion, and ancient tradition seen through Western eyes.
