About the Item

This vibrant and expressive watercolor by Israeli artist Isaac Amitai captures a radiant view of Safed (Tzfat), the historic city in northern Israel known for its mystical heritage and hilltop vistas. Amitai’s signature Fauvist palette—alive with swirling blues, warm ochres, and jewel-toned greens—brings the ancient cityscape to life with a dreamlike energy. The composition reflects Safed’s terraced architecture nestled among winding roads, tall cypress trees, and distant hilltops under a sweeping, cloud-laced sky. Executed in bold, gestural strokes, Amitai’s style blends impressionistic light with abstract form, infusing the work with both atmosphere and rhythm. Signed and inscribed lower right and lower left, the painting is presented under linen matting in a simple giltwood frame that enhances the artwork’s luminosity while maintaining its timeless charm. A compelling piece for collectors of Israeli art or anyone drawn to evocative landscapes filled with color, culture, and history.
