Pomegranate Alley in Safed

Size: 60 x 40 cm
Medium: Oil on canvas

This original oil painting by Robert Rosenberg, a renowned Israeli painter, captures a vibrant alley in the Old City of Safed framed by branches heavy with ripe pomegranates. Warm stone walls, colorful rooftops, and lush greenery create a timeless Mediterranean atmosphere.

Rosenberg is celebrated as the last remaining artist who still paints directly in the alleys of Safed, working on location and never from photographs. He chooses very specific hours to capture the authentic natural light, preserving the fleeting glow of the stones and the charm of the Galilee.

The pomegranate, a symbol of abundance and spirituality in Jewish tradition, adds depth and meaning to the composition. This work not only portrays a picturesque alley but also conveys the essence of Safed – a blend of history, light, and spiritual heritage.

Please note: The painting is sold unframed and requires framing.
