Painting Description
"The Valley and lower Pool of Gihon, Jerusalem" is a 19th-century watercolor painting by the German-born British artist Carl Haag (1820–1915). Known for his detailed and vivid orientalist scenes, Haag captured the landscapes, architecture, and people of the Near East with a meticulous eye during his travels. This particular work depicts the historic Pool of Gihon, located in the Kidron Valley, which is one of the ancient water sources of Jerusalem. The pool was an essential water supply for the inhabitants of Jerusalem in antiquity and has significant biblical associations, being mentioned in the Old Testament.
Haag's painting is a testament to his skill in rendering architectural and natural details with precision and his ability to convey the atmosphere of the locations he visited. The artwork likely dates from his extensive travels in the Middle East during the 1850s and 1860s, a period when the orientalist genre was at its peak in European art. The Valley and lower Pool of Gihon, Jerusalem, with its careful attention to light, shade, and texture, is an example of Haag's dedication to portraying his subjects with authenticity and respect for their cultural significance.
As an artist, Carl Haag was a member of the Royal Watercolour Society and enjoyed the patronage of Queen Victoria, who appreciated his depictions of the East. His works are held in various collections, including the British Museum and the Royal Collection. "The Valley and lower Pool of Gihon, Jerusalem" contributes to the visual documentation of 19th-century Jerusalem and reflects the Western fascination with the Holy Land during this period. It remains an important work for scholars studying orientalist art and the historical representation of Jerusalem in European painting.
