Women of Jerusalem 1890 is a work of Palestinian art that exemplifies how Palestine was not a land empty of people, but rather a land inhabited by people who lived in peace, loved it, and built it.
Contemporary Palestinian art has its origins in folk art as well as traditional Christian and Islamic artwork that has long been popular in Palestine. Nationalistic themes have predominated since the Nakba of 1948, as Palestinian artists use a variety of media to express and explore their connection to identity and land.
