Ary Scheffer (1795-1858) was born in Dordrecht but attended the Amsterdam Teeken-Academie, In 1811 he moved with his family to Paris where he may have trained under Pierre Paul Prud'hon (1758-1823) and Pierre Guérin (1774-1833), and attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He primarily followed the neo-classical school but then turned to Romantic ideals and became one the Romantic leading figures. He mostly produced history paintings and portraits. Despite his Dutch origins, Ary Scheffer is generally considered to belong to the French school of which he formed many members such as Théodore Rousseau (1812-1867), Auguste Legras (1817-1887), Jules Adolphe Goupil (1839-1883), his own son Dirk-Ary Lamme (1839-1879) and many others. His daughter bequeathed many of his works to the city of Dordrecht and actually housed in the Dordrechts Museum.

This painting is a typical work of Ary Scheffer's late output and echoes his increasing religious preoccupation of the end of his life. This composition focuses on the solitary figure of Christ weeping for the coming destruction of Jerusalem. As described by the Evangelist Luke in the New Testament (19:41):' As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it.'
