HERALD. Story of Argentina's Saint to be painted in Israel
In 1968, the renowned
painter Raúl Soldi travelled to the Holy Land on
an invitation of the Casa Argentina in Israel, with the
purpose of offering through his art a testimony of peace
for all mankind. In the Basilica "Our Lady of the
Announciation" in Nazareth, he painted a fresco 6
meters high per 2.50 wide, which recalls the legend of
the Lujan Virgin. In that trip he was guided and accompannied
by Baruch Tenembaum. It is a unique testimony accompliished
by one of the most pretigious Argenine artists of all
times. The Buenos Aires Herald newspaper and many others
published the story.
