About the Artwork:
This breathtaking lithograph captures the raw, organic soul of the Judean landscape through the lens of one of Israel’s most celebrated visionaries. Anna Ticho masterfully captures the rugged topography of the Jerusalem hills using dense, rhythmic linework and expressive cross-hatching. The composition focuses entirely on the textured earth, omitting the sky to pull the viewer directly into the timeless, powerful terrain. Striking a beautiful balance between controlled draftsmanship and spontaneous emotion, this limited-edition print stands as an elegant and deeply moving homage to the ancient landscapes around the holy city.
About the Artist:
Anna Ticho (1894–1980) was a pioneering Israeli master artist, internationally renowned for her iconic depictions of the Jerusalem landscape. Born in Moravia and trained in Vienna, she immigrated to Jerusalem in 1912, where she balanced her artistic passion with assisting her husband, the acclaimed ophthalmologist Dr. Avraham Ticho. Her brilliant career was defined by a profound, lifelong connection to the local hills, evolving from meticulous early graphic drawings to a remarkably free, expressive later style. A recipient of the prestigious Israel Prize for Painting in 1980, her historic home, Ticho House, remains an active branch of the Israel Museum. Today, her works are prized pieces in leading public institutions and private fine art collections worldwide.
