Description
" Solomon built the temple on the threshing floor David bought. The Dome of the rock is the highest point of the temple mount. Threshing floors were never built on hills, but in curved valleys, like directly under the Al Kas Fountain. Under the dome of the Rock, was where the Fortress of Antonia stood. In 135 AD, Hadrian filled in about 50 feet of earth over top of where the temple stood and enlarged the temple mount and built a temple of Jupiter where we see the Dome of the rock today. In 325 AD Constantine tore down the Temple of Jupiter and assumed Hadrian built the temple of Jupiter on top of the spot where the temple of Solomon once stood. Constantine built an octagon church on the site. In 700 AD the Muslims found the foundations of Constantine's octagon church and built the dome of the Rock we see today."
(here you can read more about it: [link] )

It is first project for my master degree and I will do it as printmaking, probably it wil be linocut, but i don't know yet.

In the futute i will write more about the concept and ideology, actually now i can tell that its less about the portrait its more about sacred places and how that is important for spiritual life.
Also I want to say big "Thank you " to model!

I hope you will like it

Peace and Love:*
