Yemin Moshe
Apr 30th, 2008 by admin
I started on a new picture a couple of days ago. The painting shows the view to from just next to the of the old city of Jerusalem. Yemin Moshe is a beautiful historic neighbourhood set adjacent to the old city. It was the first neighbourhood to be built outsid eth city walls in 1891 and is named after Moshe (Moses) Montifiore (the name means "the right [hand] of Moshe") - the Jewish British philanthropist who established it. I have been planning this picture for quite a while and during the recent Pesach holiday I took some photos around there when I did the old city with my children.
