Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for updating us all who have wondered about our copies of the painting. Even my next door neighbor has one! <br /><br />The odd thing is that there are so very many copies of a painting of which the original was done by an artist who apparently isn’t so well known! <br /><br />Good work!<br /><br />CandiceRachel Selbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113411205306116614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-29953866610038537812012-07-17T20:24:28.254+03:002012-07-17T20:24:28.254+03:00I'll make sure Gillian gets this message.

It does seem to be a copy (one of many with a variety of backgrounds and styles of dress, fewer or more characters included, etc...)of the painting by B. Werner. Werner was a 19th/20th Century German artist. You can google him. The painting is called: A Difference of Opinion (with various translations of those words). <br /><br />Thank you so much Gillian.Rachel Selbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113411205306116614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-61674234760189225352012-07-16T23:29:28.663+03:002012-07-16T23:29:28.663+03:00Gillian I am going to follow all your leads and re...Gillian I am going to follow all your leads and report back.

She tells me a holocaust survivor did the reproduction and my grandfather bought it from him along with 2 other paintings to help him out. I too have searched on the internet for something about the original but have not been able to find any info. In fact that’s how I ended up on your blog! Did you receive any clues ? With kind regards <br /><br />So I'm not the only one looking. And so many people know this painting but don't know where it comes from.

It was interesting comparing the first picture with the second picture showing it framed. Maybe it's just the light in the photo, but for me, when I see it with the frame around it, the whole background of the picture appears lighter and more golden too.<br />I wonder what the woman in the background is doing / thinking too.Mummy Plumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746501465644149765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-70895251483656410722012-04-20T14:36:27.035+03:002012-04-20T14:36:27.035+03:00What an interesting piece - it looks like some kin...What an interesting piece - it looks like some kind of disagreement is taking place. Like the tradition of how it had to hang over the table. Even nicer that you now have the painting. Would like to know what your grandfathers stories were behind each of the Rabbis.
