For artworks or reproductions larger than 105 cm (approximately 41 inches) on any side, the frame will be shipped as a kit, disassembled. This method ensures safe delivery and prevents damage during transport.

Professional assembly required - this is not a DIY product.
The kit must be assembled and the canvas stretched by an experienced professional framer, using wood glue (not supplied), a canvas stretching plier and clamps to hold the bars square while the glue dries. Incorrect assembly or uneven canvas tension can permanently damage the artwork and is not covered by our warranty.

  • All solid wood bars are included, precisely cut to size.

  • Assembled with the screws provided, plus wood glue for the corner joints, which is not supplied and must be sourced by your framer.

  • Professional tools are required and not included: a canvas stretching plier (tensioner) and clamps to hold the bars square while the glue dries.

Important:
The corner joints require wood glue, the bars must be held with clamps until the glue is fully dry, and tightening the canvas on the assembled frame requires a canvas stretching plier. None of these are included in the kit. Please arrange an experienced professional framer before ordering this size.

Artist Biography

Samuel Hirszenberg: Life and Legacy

Early Life and Education

  • Samuel (Shmuel) Hirszenberg was born on February 22, 1865, in Łódź, Poland, the eldest son of a weaving mill worker.
  • Despite his father’s disapproval, he pursued his passion for art with financial assistance from a local doctor.
  • He began his artistic training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków at age 15, deeply influenced by the realistic style of Jan Matejko.
  • From 1885 to 1889, he continued his studies at the Royal Academy of Arts in Munich.

Early Career and Recognition

  • His early work, “Jeschibah” (1887), garnered significant attention.
  • An exhibition at the Kunstverein Munich (1889) led to a silver medal at an art exhibition in Paris.
  • He further honed his skills at the Académie Colarossi in Paris, completing his artistic education.

Return to Poland and Artistic Development

  • In 1891, Hirszenberg returned to Poland and settled in Łódź in 1893.
  • His early paintings – “Talmudic Studies,” “Sabbath Afternoon,” “Uriel Acosta,” and “The Jewish Cemetery” – initially aligned with the Jewish genre painting tradition of artists like Leopold Horowitz, Isidor Kaufmann, and Maurycy Gottlieb.
  • However, his work gradually shifted towards Symbolism, exploring themes of Jewish history and exile.

Major Works and Themes

  • His most renowned paintings from this period include “The Wandering Jew” (1899), “Exile” (1904), and “Czarny Sztandar / Black Flag” (1905).
  • He spent over four years creating “The Eternal Jew,” exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1900, but was disappointed by its reception.
  • His work often depicted themes of suffering, displacement, and Jewish identity.

Later Life and Legacy

  • Disheartened by the lack of recognition, Hirszenberg took a year-long trip to Italy in 1901 for health reasons.
  • In 1904, he moved to Kraków and immigrated to Palestine in 1907.
  • He became a lecturer at the newly founded Bezalel School in Jerusalem, headed by Boris Schatz.
  • Sadly, Hirszenberg died in Jerusalem on September 15, 1908, after a brief but intense creative period.
