Golden-Hour Ruins by the Sea

Travellers on horseback approach the ruins of Caesarea beside the Mediterranean.

Contemporary interpretation · BIB-ART-004

Travellers on horseback approach the remains of a once-great coastal city. Broken columns, ancient masonry and the blue Mediterranean form a landscape of history and abandonment.

Caesarea was an important Roman port and appears in the New Testament, particularly in the Acts of the Apostles.

This is an artistic interpretation of the engraved view, not a geographically exact reconstruction of the place.
