The Jerusalem School of Icon Painting (1740s-1940s) is a proposed book with 400 rare photographs from nine cities and 16 churches, two essays by Kamal Boullata and an introduction by Lily Farhoud. It documents a threatened, centuries-old iconographic tradition bridging religious painting and early Palestinian secular art, highlighting the significance of Christian Arabs in Islamic culture.
