Flevit super illam (He wept over it). 305 x 555 cm 1892 (Prado Museum)
There he was inspired to paint this monumental canvas of Jesus pausing before his final entry into Jerusalem.
"He painted this in Jerusalem, in response to Luke 19:41, in which Jesus approaches the city of Jerusalem. As he looks at the city, he weeps over it – hence the Latin words from the Vulgate – in anticipation of the city’s sufferings to come. This view is from the Mount of Olives, and won medals in Madrid (1892), Chicago (1893), Barcelona (1896), and in Paris in 1900." (Source)
