Leon Blum, noted Jewish artist, has painted a large panorama of Jerusalem at the request of the municipal museum of Bruenn, Czechoslovakia. It measures 6½ by 26 feet.
Blum, formerly of Czechoslovakia, now lives in Palestine. Before the painting was sent to Bruenn, it was exhibited here and won considerable praise from art critics. When the work was completed the Czechoslovakian Consul-General gave Mr. Blum a banquet.
