Jewish Architecture
  Leipziger Temple in Piatra Neamţ – Prayer hall murals

© Center for Jewish Art, Photographer: Radovan, Zev, 2009

The walls around the perimeter of the prayer hall contain paintings depicting holy places and other scenes in the Land of Israel. The artist added painted frames, cords, and nails to create the illusion of hanging paintings rather than murals. Part of these compositions were repainted during restoration undertaken in the 1970s.
