Josef Jackerson, Monumental Oil on Canvas Painting, Tzar Family, Signed:
Monumental oil on canvas by Russian-Israeli artist Josef Jackerson, titled Tzar Family. Executed in a bold impasto technique, the composition is densely populated with ghostly figures and symbolic references evoking the tragic fate of the Romanov dynasty. Richly textured and emotionally charged, the painting is rendered in a palette of earthy ochres, ultramarine blues, and somber grays. Figures are layered and contorted with painterly intensity, forming a macabre procession of surreal and historical motifs. The surface shows expressive brushwork and thickly applied paint, creating a dramatic three-dimensional quality. Josef Jackerson is a Russian-born Israeli painter known for his emotionally intense and thematically complex works often addressing political, spiritual, and philosophical themes. His style frequently merges surrealism, symbolism, and expressionism, and he is particularly admired for his monumental narrative compositions that tackle themes of history, religion, and existential struggle. His work has been exhibited internationally and remains highly regarded among collectors of Jewish and Eastern European modernist art. Signature on upper right.
