Anna May Rychter, an early twentieth-century realist painter, became known for beautiful landscapes of Jerusalem and Judean Hills. Her artwork “Jerusalem” is a beautiful depiction of the main old building of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem on Mount Scopus (Har HaTsofim). Interestingly, the name of title “lookout” is a Latinisation of the Greek word for “watcher”. Also, this land was already purchased before World War I from Sir John Gray-Hill, an English maritime solicitor, as well as an art collector and travel writer.
The artist conveyed a tender sandy colour of Jerusalem stone and showed locals working under the scorching sun. Calm background is in contrast with a full of motion forefront. Besides, the street in the distance is empty together with a bright cloudless sky.
