EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the crypt of the Church of St. Anne in Jerusalem, as it appeared in 1872. Created by William Crimea Simpson, this artwork was commissioned by the Palestine Exploration Fund based in London, UK. The Church of St. Anne itself is a remarkable structure dating back to the 12th century Crusader period when it was built between 1131-38. The church holds great historical and religious significance as it stands on what is believed to be the birthplace of Anne, the mother of Mary. However, at the time this image was captured, the crypt had fallen into disrepair and suffered significant damage. The photograph showcases an archaeological site that has been subjected to exploration and excavation efforts due to its ruined state. It serves as a testament to both human curiosity and dedication towards uncovering history's secrets. Despite its dilapidated condition, there is still beauty within these remains; a haunting reminder of past glory and devotion. This image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand how time can erode even our most sacred structures. As we gaze upon this painting from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded not only of Israel's rich archaeological heritage but also of humanity's relentless pursuit for knowledge about our collective pasts.
