This watercolour shows a view of Hierapolis, a place famous for its natural hot springs. It was painted in 1837 by Antonio Schranz, a landscape artist who often traveled the Mediterranean. Schranz was part of a family of artists who ran a print shop in Malta. He made many trips to Turkey and Egypt for British travelers who wanted drawings of their trips.
