Moses da Castellazzo
Moses da Castellazzo (born 1467 ; died 1527 ) was a 15th and 16th century Jewish portrait painter and engraver living in Venice .
His father was a native of Germany Rabbi Abraham Sachs, in Lombardy , a rabbi school headed. Moses dal Castellazzo's fame as a painter was not limited to the Jewish ghetto of Venice, but included all of Italy. The Consiglio dei Dieci of Venice granted him the privilege of creating and distributing illustrations of the Pentateuch . Unfortunately, much of Castellazzo's work has been lost over the centuries. Castellazzo is praised by the self-proclaimed Messiah David Reuveni in his memoir for his help on his arrival in Venice in 1523.
