Paul Rudolph Linke was a German painter of landscapes and orientalist subjects. Here, he painted Tiberias and its lake as seen from the east. This is a rare subject, treated with beautiful colors by an Orientalist painter who depicted the picturesque sites of the Near East in the 1880s, particularly in Egypt (Abu Simbel, Karnak) and Palestine.
