Purim at the Uffizi

While disappointed to miss this year's outstanding IJC Purim party, I was elated to come across three paintings depicting the Purim Story by the artist Jacopo del Sellaio (Florence 1442-1493) painted in 1485-90 and hanging in the Uffizzi Museum in Florence. The two below and presented together are The Banquet of Ahasuerus and The Banquet of Queen Vashti. The third (here on the left) is the Triumph of Mordechai. Reported by Leslie O
