This painting depicts the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem during the storming of the city by Roman Army during the Great Jewish Revolt. It was a significant moment in the development of the diaspora of the Jews across Europe and the Middle of East. Hayez based his depiction on the description of the historian Josephus.
