Signed and numbered serigraph by Shemuel Katz.
 
In On the Shore of the Kinneret, Shmuel Katz captures the tranquil beauty and luminous atmosphere of Israel’s Sea of Galilee. The scene radiates warmth and stillness, merging Katz’s elegant linework with soft, sunlit washes of color that evoke the gentle rhythm of nature. His refined sense of movement and light animates the water and hills with lyrical grace, transforming the landscape into a visual meditation on peace and presence.
 
Vienna-born Shmuel Katz, a founding member of Kibbutz Ga’aton, was among Israel’s most revered artists and illustrators. A Holocaust survivor and veteran of the War of Independence, he imbued his art with resilience, tenderness, and hope. His expressive compositions reveal a profound connection to the land of Israel and an enduring reverence for its spirit.
 
On the Shore of the Kinneret exemplifies Katz’s gift for balancing architectural precision with a flowing, musical rhythm — a harmony of form and feeling that continues to make his work both timeless and deeply moving.
