summary

Before his death at the young age of 23, Maurycy Gottlieb painted over 200 works. His continuing influence is apparant in the works of many later artists such as Samuel Hirszenberg, E. M. Lilien, and Henryk Glicenstein "who leraned that there was no essential contradiction between Judaism and art.” See See Guralnik, Maurycy Gottlieb: In the Flower of Youth (1991) p. 28. The present portfolio includes the most celebrated of Gottlieb's works: Ahasuerus, Shylock (the original of which is lost), Jewish Wedding, and others.
