Prior to his suicide at the tragically young age of 23, Maurycy Gottlieb painted well over 300 canvases. His influence is clearly apparent in the works of many later Jewish artists such as Samuel Hirszenberg, E. M. Lilien, and Henryk Glicenstein “who learned that there was no essential contradiction between Judaism and art” (see Tel Aviv Museum of Art Catalogue, Maurycy Gottlieb: In the Flower of Youth (1991) p. 28).
