Auction History Result 1s005 GOLEM 77x116 Dutch canvas painting '46 Duvivier, cool different art of chained monster! Date Sold 4/21/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1946 (from the first release of this movie in the Netherlands) Vintage Theatrical Dutch Canvas Painting (measures 77 1/2" x 115 1/2" [197 x 293 cm]) (Learn More) Le Golem (released in the U.S. in 1937 as "The Golem", "The Golem: The Legend of Prague"; and "The Man of Stone"), the 1936 Julien Duvivier French/Czechoslovakian horror fantasy melodrama starring Harry Baur, Charles Dorat, Jany Holt, Roger Karl, and Germaine Aussey. Note that Paul Wegener made two movies called "The Golem" in 1915 and 1920, and both were based on the ancient Jewish fairy tale of a Frankenstein-like monster that could be created out of mud or clay to liberate them from oppression. This movie is a sequel to the earlier classic movie, and was intended to be filmed in Germany, but by 1936, the huge anti-Jewish sentiment there caused it to be moved to France, where one of France's best directors, Julien Duvivier, was assigned to direct it. It is a sequel to the earlier movie, and the plot has the Rabbi from the first movie (who controlled the Golem) dead, and a new Rabbi hides the Golem, intending to bring him out when he is most needed (he does not make his appearance until the final 5 minutes of the movie)!

It was created for a Dutch movie theater in 1946. Someone painted this image directly onto a piece of canvas and it was displayed at the theater. After it was displayed, the canvas was folded up, and it was stored that way until it was recently discovered (and it will need to be sent in a larger-than-normal flat package). Condition: fair. The painting was removed from a stretcher and there is a blank thicker canvas around the edges with nail holes in it. There is a foreign stamp in the top and bottom right background areas, and the canvas is torn in the corners. There are scuffs, smudges, tiny dots of paper loss, and some staining scattered throughout the image (look at our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition). Please do not bid on this item unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored! Learn More about condition grades
