## About Mordechai Levanon

Mordechai Levanon (1901–1968) was an Israeli painter known chiefly for landscape painting. Public authority data identifies him as an Israeli artist, while biographical summaries place landscapes at the center of his reputation. Safed and Jerusalem recur in descriptions of his work, together with an interest in the distinctive light of Eretz Israel. He received the Dizengoff Prize in 1940 and again in 1961. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Levanon through paintings connected with Israeli landscape traditions and views or evocations of those cities. The public source pack also links his identity to major authority systems, including Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, ISNI, IdRef, and RKD. Those identifiers help distinguish the artist across catalogues and auction records, especially because the name Weiss appears as an alternate family name in a Hebrew biographical source.

## Common works and media

Paintings are the only work type firmly documented in the collected biographical sources. Landscape subjects are central to Levanon's recorded reputation, with Safed, Jerusalem, and the light and terrain of Eretz Israel specifically associated with his work. The source pack does not provide enough evidence to characterize prints, drawings, editions, sculpture, ceramics, posters, or other categories as common parts of his auction market.

## Market and appraisal context

The source pack shows an Appraisily input count of 358 records associated with this artist, indicating substantial catalog activity for comparison. The collected public-page request was rate-limited, however, so this research set does not reveal individual sale dates, realized prices, media, dimensions, condition reports, provenance, or attribution wording. A collector should first confirm that the object is attributed to Mordechai Levanon and then compare it with records for the same work type and closely related subject matter. Landscapes, especially those connected in the biographical record with Safed and Jerusalem, provide the clearest documented subject context. No price trend or current value can be inferred from this source pack alone; a defensible appraisal requires inspection of the object and the underlying comparable-sale records.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. This profile separates documented biographical context from market details that still require lot-level verification.
