Mordechai Levanon
Mordechai Levanon (1901 - 1968) was an Israeli painter. He was one of the foremost Israeli landscape painters. He was the winner of the Dizengoff prize in 1940 and 1961. He was enchanted by Erez Israel's light, and the cities of Safed and Jerusalem; all of which feature heavily in his paintings
As the son of a rabbi in a town in Transylvania, he knew the Holy Land from Bible stories, and when he arrived in Israel, his textual understanding of the place merged with its physical landscapes. His paintings are like ecstatic visions of Jerusalem and Safed.
