Description
Masada is an ancient fortification in the Southern District of Israel situated on top of an isolated rock plateau on the eastern edge of the Judaean Desert, overlooking the Dead Sea. Herod the Great built palaces for himself on the mountain and fortified Masada between 37 and 31 BCE. According to Josephus, the Siege of Masada by troops of the Roman Empire towards the end of the First Jewish-Roman War ended in the mass suicide of the 960 Sicarri rebels and their families hiding there.
This is a signed original work drawn in soft pastels on paper.

Hello Dagmar. Here is a video in HD about Masada so you can see it live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrRPQk1ZnYQ and here's with explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NTU1h4OcY8 Better yet, come to Israel and visit the site. It's only about an hour and a half from Jerusalem, located at the Dead Sea.
