This monograph explores why and how heroines of the Scripture: Judith, Esther and the Shulamite received a particular meaning for acculturated Jewish artists originating from the Polish lands in the last decades of the nineteenth century and the first two decades of the twentieth century. It convincingly proves that artworks by Maurycy Gottlieb, Wilhem Wachtel, Ephraim Moses Lilien, Maurycy Minkowski, Samuel Hirszenberg and Boris Schatz significantly differed from renderings of contemporary non-Jewish artists, adopting a "Jewish perspective", creating complex and psychological portrayals of the heroines inspired by Jewish literature and as well as by historical and cultural phenomena of Jewish revival and the cultural Zionism movement"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Judith $c (Biblical figure) $x Art. 600 00 $a Esther, $c Queen of Persia $x Art. 600 00 $a Shulamite $c (Biblical figure) $x Art. 630 00 $a Bible. $p Old Testament $v Illustrations. 600 07 $a Esther, $c Queen of Persia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00042996 600 07 $a Judith $c (Biblical figure) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01898328 630 07 $a Bible. $p Old Testament. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01808092 650 0 $a Women in art. 650 0 $a Women in the Bible. 650 7 $a Art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815177 650 7 $a Women in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177826 650 7 $a Women in the Bible. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177997 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423873 776 08 $i Online version: $a Czekanowska-Gutman, Monika. $t Reclaiming biblical heroines $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, 2022 $z 9789004472662 $w (DLC) 2022029807 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030302.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=09A1A2F2C48911EDAC2163E35EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
