A new painting has been revealed and
it has jews around the world kvetching, as it involves a subject that reveals
an age-old practice of the chosen ones.
From Jerusalem Post:
Painter Giovanni Gasparo uploaded a picture of
his canvas to his Facebook page on Tuesday. Titled Martirio di San Simonino
da Trento (Simone Unverdorben), per omicidio rituale ebraico (The Martyrdom of
St. Simon of Trento in accordance with Jewish ritual murder), the painting
is very detailed, showing a group of hook-nosed Jews with peyot and yellow,
uneven teeth strangling the child and draining his blood. Some of the Jews are
also shown wearing kippot and shtreimels, with one in the center wearing a
tallit over his head and shoulders. In addition, the child is shown with its
arms outstretched, reminiscent of Jesus Christ on the cross as the Jews look on
with apparent sadistic joy.
This is definitely not the first
time the subject matter has been covered by artists.
