The Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem is one of the most famous buildings in history, standing for over 400 years, significant as a place and an idea that has been sought, contested and imitated. Described in detail in the Bible, no one knows what it looked like and for centuries it has been reimagined by artists and designers, archaeologists, theorists and ideologues.
Bronstein’s paintings on paper include cross-sections and aerial plans, façade and frieze details, visualisations of the Solomonic columns, the principal contents, and much more. It promises a thrilling walk – playful, erudite and at times provocative – through one of history’s great fascinations, a building that exists as much in the imagination as it did in reality.
