    Biblical and Jewish motives in art from Renaissance till contemporary times. The Tower of Babel, Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Bereshit/Genesis 11:1-9. Biblical and Jewish motives in art from Renaissance till contemporary times Biblical and Jewish Motives in Art from Renaissance till Contemporary Times. During the Renaissance 17th century c.e. great non-Jewish Grand Masters in the painting art have contributed a great part in the distribution of themes from the Tanach around the globe. It is to be said that these great Grand Masters created these art works in Christian influence and were commissioned by the church. The Grand Masters in painting art are some notably Rembrandt, Rubens, Michelangelo and many others.Aside Biblical artwork made by the Grand Masters from the Renaissance throughout the industrial revolution 19th century c.e. Jewish artwork made by Jewish artists came at the beginning of the 19th century c.e., artists as Maurycy Gottlieb. These artists will be mentioned in this essay as Jewish art work from the 20th century c.e. as Marc Chagall, Chaim Gross and others. I wrote this essay in full awareness that, in contradiction with any book about Jewish art, it would be more consulted and probably read. But art has always interested me and to see it combined with my interests in Judaism is a fascinating and encouraging experience. It is the ideal introduction and announcement of the Tanach towards everyone. This essay would be written with explanatory and information but it will consist mostly with images of these wonderful and beautiful artwork.

It alludes to a surprise: in the act of painting many a dif- ferent one lies a charm, single, inborn, and the painter is exposed. Is acted. It has to do with unexpectable sameness, it is serendipitous as well as recalcitrant and alarming. It lurks, very real, not behind but in front of the surfaces. It amounts to a lonesome surface, the surface of portraiture, and deals with an absence, because one does not portray life, death is the subject. Death is the component and the span, the deeper one portrays the more it dawns on us. A sameness, not opaque, with a great variety of reso- nances, a repeated syncope.
