The Desolate Wall COPYRIGHT JACOB MEZRAHI

Oil on Canvas, 36×48 in, 2001-2004

I started this painting in 2001 when I was 21 years old and first really desired to visit Israel, after changing it many times I finished it after I went to visit Israel for the first time in 2003.  The 3 months before I finished this painting I read the whole canon of the Jewish Bible, so painting has many hidden narratives.

This painting, “9-11″; “Moses and the Burning Bush” and “The Flood” are painting in the same style.

Genesis ch7 line21: And all flesh that moves upon the earth expired, among the birds, the animals, the beasts, and all the creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all mankind.

This painting was inspired by Picasso, can you guess which painting?
