About the Artwork:
This composition, titled “Mur des Juifs, vue d’ensemble”, offers one of the earliest photographic records of the Western Wall. Bonfils’ masterful use of light and depth draws the eye along the ancient stones, where clusters of worshipers stand in quiet reverence. The image is more than architectural—it captures the weight of devotion and the continuity of a sacred tradition in a moment frozen over 140 years ago.
