Jakub Zucker 1900 - 1981 'the Synagogue Of Jaffa In 1946'

Jakub Zucker 1900 - 1981 Poland - NY, Ashkenazi Israeli painter * It seems to me that this is the Jaffa Synagogue in 1946. The Libyan Synagogue of Jaffa (Beit HaKnesset Le'olei Lub), located on Mazal Daggim Street in the Old City, is the oldest synagogue in Tel Aviv-Jaffa. Founded in 1948 in a former hotel by Jewish immigrants from Libya, it is still in operation. This historic place is renowned for its arched architecture and communal atmosphere. Description: A moment of serenity in prayer, in search of Yahweh. The red staircase, drawn in a zigzag pattern, makes the scene original in the spirit of Matisse. Condition: Original oil on canvas, nothing to do, impeccable condition, but no frame. ** Signature: Signed in Hebrew and dated in the upper right corner, 46 for 1946. Provenance: Former private collection, Uccle - Brussels
