Disputation
Pen & Ink, 5 x 7
In my quest of trying many different art mediums and styles, I drew some pieces like those wood cuts that appeared in prints of the medieval times. Here's one depicting a disputation of a Christian clergy and a Jewish scholar. Note, the pointy hats "Judenhut" that Jews had to wear as a degrading dress code.
One of the most famous disputes occurred in 1240, which sadly resulted in the public burning of the Talmud in Paris, and another in 1263 with the Ramban.
