Safed

In this limited edition serigraph Shemuel Katz depicts the ancient city of Safed. Located in the Northern District of Israel it is considered one of the four holiest cities in Judaism. Safed is thus, an idyllic tourist destination. Katz uses vibrant hues to translate this liveliness. The widespread greenery and vivid blue sky are used to fill the image with optimism. The contemporary style is used to point the increasing modernity of Israeli cities. Whilst the whimsical tones, honour the city's history. The serigraph is printed on paper and signed by the artist in the bottom right corner.
