Légende

Aholibah - painted by E. Armitage, 1850. Exhibition at the Royal Academy in London. 'Mr. Armitage's Picture...is an embodiment of a passage in Ezekiel, Aholibah (Jerusalem) doting on the Chaldeans. (Ezekiel, xxiii.) The accessories of the painting are suggested by the recently discovered Nimroud sculptures...Aholibah, (486) [in the catalogue], has more merit than many who pass it by too quickly are willing to allow. Aholibah is no beauty, it is true, but she is full of character and truth'. Monumental stone statues from the ancient site of Nineveh, in what is now Iraq, had recently been loaded onto ships on the River Euphrates and brought to the British Museum in London. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
