Beginning of the Sabbath
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and beautifully rendered oil painting by an unknown artist, capturing the peaceful and contemplative atmosphere of the Jewish Sabbath at the threshold of the late 19th century. The painting, dated around 1868, presents a serene scene of a Jewish family gathered around their table, preparing for the beginning of the Sabbath. The warm glow of the setting sun filters in through the open windows, casting a gentle light upon the scene. The mother, dressed in traditional Jewish attire, supervises her children as they set the table and light the candles. The father, wearing a tallit and tefillin, sits at the head of the table, bowing his head in prayer. The Sabbath, a day of rest and spiritual reflection, is a time for family and community, and this painting beautifully encapsulates the sense of tranquility and unity that characterizes this sacred day. The artist's skillful use of light and color creates a sense of intimacy and warmth, inviting the viewer to share in the simple pleasures of this sacred moment. The painting is a poignant reminder of the enduring traditions and values that have shaped Jewish life for generations, and serves as a testament to the power of art to capture the essence of human experience. This exquisite work of art, with its rich historical and cultural significance, is a must-have for any collection focused on Jewish art, religious art, or the history of art in general.
