Michal Meron Limited Edition Print The Western Wall Signed Numbered Micrography

Description: This limited edition print by famous artist Michal Meron depicts the Western Wall and is signed and numbered by the artist. I can’t figure out if it is 194/200 or 196/200. The micrography details within the artwork make it a unique addition to any Judaica collection. The print is in excellent condition and ready to be displayed. The frame has a small scratch on top. With the frame it measures approximately 19.5”x14.” Micrography is a Jewish form of embellishment of biblical texts and marriage contracts (Ketubboth), developed in the 9th century. Minute Hebrew letters form representational or abstract designs, without transgressing the second Commandment. The second Commandment, prohibiting the making of “graven images” for idolatry, did not restrain Hebrew manuscript illumination during the middle Ages. In fact, whenever Jewish illuminators opposed representational art, it was mainly the result of the stricter attitude of their general environments. For instance, the Jews in Muslim countries refrained from depicting human figures in sacred books because of the Muslim prohibition against such illustrations. MICHAL MERON, a leader in the field of Micrography, presents in this exhibition a number of works produced between 1990 and 1996. Some are connected to Biblical text, such as Kings I and Isaiah and the Torah. Others are connected to Psalms, to The Song of Songs and other texts from the sacred scriptures and depict either parts of the old city of Jerusalem or artistic interpretations connected to the specific Micrography.
