The Bible in Pictures. The First Volume - First Cycle.

“Pann’s Biblical paintings have two aspects: On the one hand they appear to be documentary, there is an attempt to root the biblical scenes and heroes in a Mediterranean setting and in situations which appear to be authentic. On the other hand, these are the creations of a man who associated himself with French “Mystic Orientalism.” His pictures contain an atmosphere and significance far beyond the documentary.” See Y. Zalmona, Abel Pann 1883-1963 in: Mayanot Gallery Catalogue, Jerusalem (1987); and Israel Museum Catalogue, Bezalel pp. 205-11.
