KETUBAH
TITLE:
BLUE DAWN – Gold Edition
ABOUT THE DESIGN:
The
synagogue in Szeged, southern Hungary is one of the most
beautiful in all of Europe. Built between 1900 and 1903
under the supervision of architect Leopold Baumhorn, the
synagogue displays a fascinating blend of many styles:
Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, Roman, and Baroque. The chief
Rabbi, Dr. Immanuel Löw, a botanist, is responsible
for the many botanical design elements gracing the interior
of the synagogue.
Several of these botanical design elements can be seen in this ketubah: blackberry
briars, willows, and roses around the perimeter. The colors in the synagogue
include ivory, gold, and a cobalt blue, which becomes rich and dark in the evening
with candlelight; this is the palette chosen by the artist for this ketubah.
The pair of trees at dawn in the upper portion are the kind one might happen
upon strolling along the banks of the Tisza River outside Szeged. The quote qrapping
the ketubah is from Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3: “To
everything there is a season; a time for every purpose
under the heavens.”
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this ketubah
will go to the Foundation for the Synagogue in Szeged,
created in 1992 to provide funds toward reconstruction
and preservation of the synagogue. |
ABOUT THE ARTWORK:
The original artwork for this ketubah was created with
liquid acrylic, gouache, colored pencil, and black ink
on Arches 140# watercolor paper. The Hebrew and English
calligraphy were hand-lettered by the artist.
This print was produced here in America on Domtar Solutions
Smooth Soft White 80# Cover, 30% recycled, acid-free, archival-quality
paper. |
