GOTTLIEB, MAURYCY. Meisterwerke von Maurycy Gottlieb (1856-1879)
Complete portfolio of 26 plates by Gottlieb illustrated in color and black-and-white. Introduction in German by Moriz Scheyer.
Loose as issued in original portfolio-case, worn. 12 x 17 inches.
Vienna Christoph Reisser 1923
Before his death by suicide at the young age of 23, Maurycy Gottlieb painted over 300 canvases. His influence is clearly apparent in the works of many later Jewish artists such as Samuel Hirszenberg, E. M. Lilien, and Henryk Glicenstein 'who learned that there was no essential contradiction between Judaism and art' (see Tel Aviv Museum of Art Catalogue, Maurycy Gottlieb: In the Flower of Youth (1991) p. 28).
The present scarce portfolio includes the most celebrated of Gottlieb's works: Ahasuerus, Shylock (the original of which is lost), Jewish Wedding, Yom Kippur, etc.
