Mary Parker

Mary Parker painted quiet watercolours of biblical sites in the 1820s. Her sheets show Carmel’s cliffs, the road to Emmaus, Sinai’s slopes, the river Jordan, and Bethlehem’s rooftops, all done in soft washes of color. Look closer and you’ll notice how she framed each place without people, letting the land itself tell the story. Swipe to Emmaus to see how she balanced sky and stone in a single glance.
