1683 Circumcision Jan Luyken Print Numbered Top Right Title Mentioned
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a significant moment in Jewish culture - a Jewish circumcision ceremony, also known as "Jewish Besnydenis". The title of the object itself emphasizes its cultural importance and historical significance. The print, numbered 132 at the top right corner, beautifully captures the essence of this ancient ritual called berit milah. It provides us with a glimpse into one of the most sacred ceremonies within Judaism - circumcision. Created by Jan Luyken, an artist mentioned on the object, in Amsterdam back in 1683, this paper etching measures approximately 163mm in height and 179mm in width. The fine details and intricate lines showcased through this medium truly bring life to this historic event. As we observe this image, we are transported to another time and place where tradition meets religious devotion. This photograph serves as a reminder of how deeply rooted customs can be passed down through generations. It is important to note that while appreciating this remarkable piece from history's tapestry, it is crucial not to exploit or use it for commercial purposes. Instead, let us honor its cultural value and appreciate it for what it represents - a visual testament to an age-old practice that continues to shape Jewish identity today.
