Christ Lamenting over Jerusalem

This picture was inspired by lines from the New Testament, including verses 37 and 38 from St Matthew's gospel, in which Christ foretells the destruction of Jerusalem:
'O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a
hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate'. Eastlake incorporates a number of symbols which directly allude to Christ's prophecy. For example, the axe in the tree foreshadows Jerusalem's fall, while the shepherd carrying a sheep symbolises Christ as the good shepherd.
