The New Venice Esther Book
In The New Venice Esther, 60 pieces of original art sit alongside the Biblical text in both Hebrew and English, each artist enriching the text in the form of playing cards with a literal “suit” of images that depict this classic tale of kings, queens, and their royal court.
The story of the Purim holiday is all about chance—or is it?
In this innovative book, four artists—Tilla Crowne, Sophie Herxheimer, Mirta Kupferminc, and Jacqueline Nicholls—have come together to illustrate the classic Purim story, using the city of Venice and its venerable gambling culture as their inspiration.
The New Venice Esther is a project of Beit Venezia: A Home for Jewish Culture.
