"Jerusalem" oil painting

Created by Mikhail Oknyansky.The painting depicts a captivating nightscape of Jerusalem, bathed in the serene glow of moonlight. The city's iconic stone buildings and ancient walls are softly illuminated, casting long, gentle shadows that dance over the timeless landscape. In the foreground, twisted olive trees frame the scene, their gnarled branches reaching toward the sky. The golden Dome of the Rock glistens subtly under the star-speckled sky, standing as a central focal point amid the winding alleys and rooftops. The colors are rich and deep, with dark blues and purples for the sky, and warm, earthy tones reflecting Jerusalem’s historic stone. The atmosphere exudes both peace and mystery, capturing the spiritual essence of this ancient city under a tranquil, starlit night.
