Gottlieb-Jews Praying in the Synagogue on Yom Kippur


I photographed this out of a book on Jewish Art. It struck me as particularly powerful. Worth viewing full-sized. Illustrates Judaism, Jew and Yom Kippur. (It'd illustrate Maurycy Gottlieb as well, but there's not enought text yet, so it's on the Talk page for now.)

 * Comment just wonder has ever a painting been featured? or it there any consensus among us that should a painting be featured at all? forgive me if my questions are impertinent...--K.C. Tang 09:06, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Many paintings have successfully become Featured. No problem about asking, though. :) --Dante Alighieri | Talk 16:06, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak support I like the picture enough that I've read the articles it's in looking for a good reason to support and so I have learned something about Yom Kippur, but I thought the article could have benefited more from a contemporary photo. This is an attractive painting that repays inspection, but what with the Yorck Project donating 10,000 high quality public domain art scans in addition to the thousands we already had, we set a high threshold for Featured art. What makes this stand out as being particularly good for an encyclopedia? ~ Veledan • Talk 17:42, 24 April 2006 (UTC) p.s. If I were you I'd go ahead and put this on Maurycy Gottlieb in place of the existing self-portrait. It's a pity the small pic there is his prizewinner or that would be the obvious one to remove. As it is, this is a much more illustrative self-portrait as long as you mention the fact in the caption ~ Veledan • Talk
 * Support. Very descriptive work of art relavant to Yom Kippur.-- Dakota ~ 18:21, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

not enough support ~ Veledan • Talk 21:46, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
