Jewish Art 
an Ancient Tradition

Ever since we became a people, we have numbered amongst us experts in every manner of artist and artistry, full of the wisdom of engraving and embroidery, weaving and dyeing, working with silver, gold, copper. Artisans sophisticated in every manner of craft. Close to Israel's exit from Egypt, some 3300 years ago, Betzalel, the first Jewish artisan, began the artistic creation of The Temple and its utensils. /Exodus 35, 30/
Approximately 350 years afterwards we find artists involved with the artistic creation of the First Temple and its utensils by order of King Solomon.
/First Kings 1, 6-7/
In the 1st century before the Common Era, King Herod rebuilt what became the Second Temple, in all its glory and honor. This building was especially wondrous in its beauty and the artistry employed in its construction. So much so that our Sages said: "He who hasn't seen Herod's building has never seen a beautiful building all the days of his life.'
/Talmud Baba Batra, 4a/
When the Temple was destroyed, art did not disappear from Israel. During the time of the Talmud it was customary to beautify synagogues with art works including stone etchings, floor mosaics, and drawings on the walls and ceiling. The earliest evidence of this is a synagogue built in the 3rd century in Dura Europos on the banks of the Euphrates river. Its walls are covered with drawings depicting stories from the Tanach and midrash. During the same period, they began to illustrate and decorate holy writings with the same intention- to glorify and honor that which is holy.
The tradition of painting synagogues continued through the generations in all the diasporas, with a considerable increase from the 17th century and onward, ceasing only with the destruction of European Jewry in the Shoa.
Today the phrase "Jewish Art" is used for all art created by Jews whose content is drawn from the sources or Jewish life.

 



Giclee prints

Giclee is a French word meaning to spray ink.
It is a print method that was developed at the end of the 80s, where millions of drops of ink per second are sprayed on a canvas or paper. Each drop is one quarter the diameter of a hair, which enables maximum reproduction of the original work, both in precision and clarity, as well as color matching. Many museums around the world display Giclee reproductions, while the invaluable originals remain safely hidden in safes.

We make our Giclee prints using the best materials available, in an art studio of the highest reputation used by top professionals. They use original manufacturers ink from Epson, known for the quality and longevity of their inks. We print on canvas, or textured "Fine Art" paper, 100% cotton, acid-free, which enables us to achieve rich lifelike color.
