Handmade reproduction of a woodcut illustration from the 1516 Latin translation of Joseph ben Abraham Gikatilla's Portae Lucis (Gates of Light), a foundational text of Jewish mysticism. Translated by Paulus Ricius & printed in Augsburg by Johann Miller, the original work includes intricate woodcuts by Leonhard Beck, known for his detailed & evocative designs. The illustration depicts a Jewish scholar seated in a contemplative pose within an interior setting, holding orbs inscribed with Hebrew text that correspond to the Sefirot of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. The diagram, central to the Kabbalistic tradition, symbolizes the emanations of Divine energy & the structure of creation, as well as the pathways through which the mystic ascends toward spiritual enlightenment. 8 x 10 canvas in a standing/hanging frame.
