About the Item

“A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and great weeping, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.” This verse from Jeremiah 31:15 is the subject of this woodcut print by Jacob Steinhardt, depicting Rachel, who was the mother of the tribes of Joshua and Benjamin, and who was the wife of Jacob who was Israel, weeping for her children which is to be understood as after the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem, the Israelites were clustered into Ramah, the home of the Benjaminites, before being taken into the Babylonian captivity; Rachel is weeping for the destruction and expulsion of her descendants. This work is exemplary of the Jewish themes of Jacob Steinhardt, a German Jew who left the country after the rise of the National Socialists and settled in the Palestinian Mandate, which became Israel. This piece is numbered 66 from the edition of 100, signed in pencil in the lower left. It is signed in pencil lower right: "J. Steinhardt". Matte is 18.66 x 13 inches, print is 15.75 x 10 inches. Jacob Steinhardt was born in Zerkow, Germany in 1887 and in 1906 studied at the School of Art in Berlin where he studied with Lovis Corinth and Hermann Struck and also joined the Berlin Secession movement--a movement that revolted against the artistic restrictions of the Kaiser--as well as founding the Pathetiker Group. He moved to Paris on 1908 and became colleagues with Theophile Steinlen and Henri Matisse. During WWI he patriotically served his country by enlisting in the German army. After Hitler came to power in 1933 he sensed the change that was coming in Germany and left for the Palestinian Mandate to join the Zionist project for a Jewish state that would be a safe haven for Jews was currently underway. After moving to Palestine, he joined the Bezalel school group and opened his own art school. He died in 1968, spending over three decades in the land that would become the State of Israel and helping to building its nascent art movement. Photos by PD Rearick
