praying people at the synagogue on Yom Kippur.

After Maurycy Gottlieb (1856-1879), Praying People at the Synagogue on Yom Kippur, bronze plaque, high quaity casting, apparently from circa mid 20th century, framed, measurements: 33.5X26 cm. *Maurycy (Moshe) Gottlieb (21 or 28 of February 1856 - 17 of July 1879), was a Jewish-Polish painter. His last painting, "Yom Kippur", which was painted on the last year of his life (1878), depicts a synagogue by his memories of his birth-town. This is Gottlieb's most famous painting, and he painted himself in it three times among the praying crowd: once as a young man standing to the right of a man who sits with the Torah Book, once as a boy that is to his left, and a third time as an adolescent in Bar Mitzva age to the right. In the picture there are also his father and mother, as well as his ex-fiancee. One could claim he "appears" in the picture a fourth time - on the Torah Book in the painting's center it is written: "For the ascent of the soul of Moshe Gottlieb". The painting is part of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art collection.
