summary
A traditional, pious Jew, Shalom of Safed lived his whole life in the Galilee. In the later third of his lengthy life he painted images of the Bible and Jewish lore and tradition. Formally untrained, his conceptions of color and form and his ability to tell a story made him a great master in a classic folk style.
12 x 18 inches to mat.
