"The Temple of Solomon Jerusalem" is a historical architectural reconstruction conceived by the prominent Austrian architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. This imaginative reconstruction is part of Fischer von Erlach's influential work "Entwurf einer historischen Architektur" (A Plan of Civil and Historical Architecture), first published in 1721. The work is a comparative study of monumental architecture, encompassing a wide range of cultures and eras, and it represents one of the first and most significant attempts at a comparative architectural history.

In his depiction of the Temple of Solomon, Fischer von Erlach drew upon biblical descriptions, particularly from the Books of Kings and Chronicles in the Old Testament, as well as interpretations from classical sources and contemporary scholarship. However, his representation was not meant to be an accurate archaeological reconstruction; rather, it was an imaginative interpretation that reflected the baroque sensibilities of the time and Fischer von Erlach's own creative genius. The Temple, as visualized by him, is a grandiose structure combining elements of different architectural styles, including those of the European Baroque, which he was instrumental in developing.

Fischer von Erlach's work on the Temple of Solomon was part of a larger trend in the Baroque period of seeking out universal principles in architecture and attempting to understand the built environment as an expression of a divine cosmological order. His illustrations and designs for the Temple were not only a scholarly endeavor but also a reflection of the quest for grandeur and the sublime that characterized the Baroque aesthetic.

The Temple of Solomon as envisioned by Fischer von Erlach has had a lasting impact on the history of architecture and the visual arts. It has influenced subsequent generations of architects and historians in their understanding of sacred architecture and has contributed to the Western imagination of biblical structures. The work remains an important historical document, illustrating the 18th-century European perspective on ancient architecture and the intellectual and artistic climate of the Baroque period.
