About the Item
Pierced brass cylinder and iron base form this beautiful Memorial candle, crafted in brutalist style by David Palombo. Reminiscent of the Pillar of Fire, which provides a scared element to this ritual object, the length of the holder allows the candle to burn for 24 hours as traditionally required.
David Palombo (1920-1966) was a sculptor and painter born in Turkey and immigrated to Israel with his parents in 1923. In 1940 he began his studies at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, and from 1942 was a student of sculptor Ze’ev Ben-Zvi. For a period of time, Palombo was an assistant at Ben-Zvi’s studio and later taught at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. Palombo’s known works include the memorial building gates to Yad Vashem (1960) and the gates to the Knesset. The latter were created shortly before his premature death, caused by a motorcycle accident in which Palombo hit a chain used to block off the entrance of a Haredi neighborhood of Yamin Moshe, on the eve of Shabbat.
Every item in Menorah Galleries is accompanied by a lifetime “Certificate of Authenticity” and additional documentation and information regarding the individual artifact and its culture.
