This is a magnificent oil on board by internationally renowned artist, Mikulas Kravjansky. The meticulous detail which exists in the painting, is not evident in the picture.
The overall framed size of the piece is 48" X 101". The condition of both the art and frame is excellent.
Kravjansky speaks about the piece:
"Creating this triptych I like to pay homage to the place of all places, to the city of all cities. As the meeting point for three major world religions, Jerusalem is imbued with the holy spirit found in no other place. The steady stream of pilgrims of all faiths, that come to Jerusalem paying homage to their holy places, gives meaning to the name Holy City. It was the place where the Hebrew nation flowered, where Christianity developed and where Islam saw some of its finest hours."
Gallery price for this extraordinary quality work should be $35,000 - $50,000. The frame alone is over $2,000. Certainly this must be one of the best values in the market for a work of such quality by an artist of Kravjansky's stature.
In 1982, an edition of intaglio prints by Kravjansky was published titled Jerusalem. This also was a triptych with a similar, but different image. It was about 20% smaller, having three panels of equal size 31"H X 23"W. The edition size was 190. The edition sold out at $6,000.00 per triptych.
