Interior of a Synagogue

Alessandro Magnasco’s “Interior of a Synagogue” was painted around 1725–35. It captures a scene inside a synagogue with dramatic lighting and swift brushstrokes. Cleveland Museum of Art.

The painting is oil on canvas, typical for its time. The scene is rendered with fragmented forms and darting flashes of light, characteristic of Magnasco’s style.

Magnasco was active mostly in Milan and Genoa. His works often feature phantasmagoric genre scenes with a distinctive, stylized approach.
