Today Nazareth is the largest city in the Northern district if what is now called Israel. Bible scholars also consider Nazareth to have been the likeliest birthplace of Jesus.

Maybe another #duotone or maybe pure brown #lithograph (there’s some black in there, though)

#GIMP made quick work of this one, printed on smoother calendered paper in 1894.

King #Nebuchadnezzar was punished (in the book of Daniel) for pride, by being made to think he was an ox, and grazing on grass for four years instead of being kingly.

The historical record suggests he became depressed and temporarily insane after gazing into a palantír, but maybe i am thinking of someone else 🙂

The artist, #Rochegrosse, later moved to Algiers, became known for #orientalist art.
