Medium
Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
Gideon, which means "Destroyer," "Mighty warrior," or "Feller (of trees)" was a judge of the Hebrews, according to chapters 6 to 8 of the Book of Judges in the Hebrew Bible,. As is the pattern throughout the book of Judges, the Israelites again turned away from God after 40 years of peace brought by Deborah's victory over Canaan and were thereby oppressed by the neighboring Midianites and Amalekites. God chose Gideon, a young man from the tribe of Manasseh, to free the people of Israel and to condemn their worship of idols.
Gideon is also named in chapter 11 of the Epistle to the Hebrews as an example of a man of faith. He is regarded as a saint by the Eastern Orthodox/Eastern Catholic Churches as well as the Roman Catholic Church.
This is a signed original work painted from a live model by noted Israeli artist Esther Newman Cohen in oil paint on canvas.
