Thanks for introducing another beautiful and worthy work of art. The figure may be praying to the Creator, but the artist as creator is expanding the world; and your commentary is bringing that creation to light.
When I scrolled down to the first image, my reaction was, "Wow!" The detail and skill required to achieve it is completely awesome, to use an over-used expression.
I was unfamiliar with Ludwig Deutsch previously so thank you for drawing him to my attention. Your posts are consistently interesting. Even if not every subject is instinctively my bag, your enquiring mind often lures me in and that is the mark of a good writer!
Thanks for the picture and your thoughts. In my view a big part of the grab of the later painting is the connection of the man praying with the book that is open before him. He sees, and that tempers everything.
Almost looks like a photograph instead of a painting. Everything is so very precise. Thank you for introducing me to another artist. It seems to me that with age comes wisdom.

Thanks for your kind words, Howard. I really appreciate it.

Absolutely. It draws our eye differently than the earlier, similar, paintings.
That’s a really good point.
Thank you for introducing this artist to me. Absolutely beautiful. It is as if I can feel the rich inner world of the man at prayer.
Really glad to know you enjoyed his work.
Love the hands of the man that he painted. Look like mine with the veins sticking out.
So elegant. Thank you.
Beautiful work and palette. Great post on an artist I did not know.
Glad to know you enjoyed seeing his work.
Thank you for this! I didn't know him and I fell in love instantly. He's wonderful
