The ancient and enduring spirit of Jewish tradition comes alive in the Hebrew Illuminations 2008-2009 wall calendar. Jewish artist Adam Rhine has created ornate, highly detailed Judaic paintings in watercolor and acrylic. Each work is crafted to honor the infinite nobility of the Lord, and to visually bring forth His energy within different combinations of overlapping shapes, rich colors and intricate patterns. The sheer elegance of their construction conveys wisdom and ideas. This unique calendar features the first six letters of the Hebrew alphabet plus 10 new illuminations of significant Jewish concepts, such as Ner Tamid (Eternal Light) and Neshamah (The Jewish Soul). Adam Rhine's highly detailed Judaica paintings combine modern palettes and aesthetics with the influence of medieval illuminated manuscripts.
