EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the Jewish Portuguese community during the Feast of Passover, also known as Pesach. The engraving is part of Bernard Picart's renowned work "Illustration de ceremonies et customs religieuses de tous les peuples du monde" which was published between 1723 and 1743. In this image, we are transported back to the year 1819, where we witness a vibrant scene unfolding within a synagogue. The atmosphere is filled with reverence and anticipation as families gather together to celebrate this sacred occasion. The meticulous details in the engraving allow us to observe various elements of the Passover ritual taking place. The focus lies on a joyous meal shared by loved ones, symbolizing unity and gratitude for liberation from slavery in ancient Egypt. As participants engage in conversation and savor traditional dishes, their faces radiate warmth and devotion. This depiction serves as a testament to the enduring traditions that have been passed down through generations. Picart's masterful artistry not only showcases religious customs but also highlights cultural diversity around the world. Through his engravings, he invites viewers into an immersive experience that fosters understanding and appreciation for different faiths. This particular print offers valuable insights into both Portuguese Jewish heritage and Judaism itself. It stands as an invaluable piece of history preserved within private collections today, reminding us of our collective human journey towards spiritual enlightenment across time and borders.
