Hana, do you know why this Jewish artist painted a Nativity? I chose this painting because the antiphon said, "...come and set us free", and the birth alone didn't do that, the death also was necessary. This had both, which was amazing! I wish I knew what his intent was. I tried to look it up, but I only found something which didn't sound like this painting - he may have done more than one nativity.
Aww, Chagall! I once was on an exhibition of his Bible-inspired drawings & little paintings, it was amazing...

ReplyDeleteI have no idea... But I could try to discuss it with some friends of mine, who are generally learned in cultural things and might have an idea. :-)
