" The Twelve Tribes" 58 x 25cm

I have been commissioned in the years past to make a couple of murals depicting the five biblical Patriarchs of Genesis. This inspired much research and travel into the remote desert regions of Israel and other historical sites. I have returned to this theme occasionally, and this engraved and painted wood panel depicts the Twelve Tribes, offspring of Jacob, on Jacob's return journey from Harran to Canaan. This event marks the beginning of the Hebrew nation.
