watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Jerusalem from the Terrace of the Latin Convent is a 1852 watercolor by William Leighton Leitch, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This engraving depicts the city of Jerusalem as viewed from the terrace of the Latin Convent, created by William Leighton Leitch in 1852. It was reproduced as a frontispiece in a biblical and theological reference work, accompanied by the artist's name and that of the engraver, W. Richardson. The composition may have been inspired by an earlier plate from Louis-François Cassas's illustrated travel account of Syria, published in 1799. The work was later sold at Sotheby's in May 1971.
