Lithographs & Serigraphs by Yael Avi-Yonah
Jerusalem from the Mount
of Olives
The view from the Mount of Olives shows the City of Jerusalem
with the ancient Jewish cemetery in the foreground. In the center of
the picture
are the Temple Mount and the Old City. The artist renders the extraordinary
effect
of light on a clear summer's day, reflecting different colors off the
pink, yellow, tan
and white stones of the buildings. All of Jerusalem glitters with a supernal
light
pulsing from the Old City into the sky.
A four-page description by the artist
accompanies every lithograph.

The Western Wall

Jerusalem during the Second Temple
This work was painted from a scale model, researched and
designed
by Professor Michael Avi-Yonah, the artist's father. Depicted is the blue-white
marble sanctuary of the Temple which stood 165 feet (50 meters) tall.
In the foreground,
to the right, are the four towers of the Antonia Fortress. The artist
renders the special aura
of the dawn light illuminating the Temple. Hovering above, is a cloud
formation
in the shape of the Hebrew letter 'Shin'.
The artist's four-page archaeological
and Biblical description
accompanies every lithograph.
