A View Towards Jerusalem

from $45.00

This art print was photographed at the Monastery of Saint Theodosius in Ubeidiya, Palestine, in the summer of 2021, as late afternoon light spilled across the golden brown earth. Founded in 476 AD by Saint Theodosius the Cenobiarch, the monastery is known in Arabic as Deir Ibn 'Ubeid — "Monastery of the Son of 'Ubeid" — a name it took from the local Bedouin tribe who once sheltered among its ruins, the same tribal roots that gave the surrounding town of Ubeidiya its name.

A great pine leans over the scene, its branches framing the hills that roll toward the hazy ridgeline of Jerusalem in the distance. For Palestinians living in the West Bank, a view like this is among the closest they can get to the holy city — separated from it not by distance, but by walls, borders, and checkpoints that bar them from entering. Jerusalem sits visible on the horizon, yet remains out of reach, another reminder of a connection between a people and the land that holds their memories and history.

🖼️ Details:

  • High-resolution photographic print

  • Features both English and Arabic text

  • Geographic coordinates of Ubeidiya, Bethlehem included

  • Printed on coated paper with a semi-gloss finish

  • Available sizes: 12×16 in

  • Securely packaged for safe shipping

🎨 A custom color palette drawn directly from the landscape lines the bottom of the print — warm gold, deep green, sky blue, and earthy brown — making this piece a powerful addition for those drawn to Palestine's history, faith, and enduring presence on the land.
