This captivating three-dimensional vitreograph by renowned artist Jean-Pierre Weill depicts a traditional Jewish wedding ceremony under a chuppah (wedding canopy). The scene features a bride and groom standing hand-in-hand, facing a rabbi holding a wine glass, surrounded by lush green vines, purple grape clusters, and a Star of David at the top. The artwork is created using opaque and translucent paints and inks applied as hand-pulled serigraphs on multiple layers of glass, producing a striking 3D depth effect that brings the composition to life. Signed and numbered "J P Weill 129/450" in the lower left corner on the front glass layer. The piece is professionally framed in a gold-tone wooden frame with a white mat, ready for wall display. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Jean-Pierre Weill Studios, verifying it as number 129 in a multiple original edition of 450 pieces. An artist biography card is affixed to the back, detailing Weill's background and artistic style. This work exemplifies Weill's innovative approach to vitreography, blending classical and kitsch elements with modernist influences to create playful, multi-dimensional compositions that engage the eye, heart, and mind.
