Shraga Weil (Hebrew: שרגא ווייל; September 24, 1918 – February 20, 2009) was an Israeli painter.[1] Weil was born as František Ferdinand Weil in Nyitra, Austria-Hungary (today Nitra, Slovakia) in 1918 to a family of teachers, journalists and merchants.[1] His father was a building engineer. He was sent to study with a local sculptor, and then to the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. He produced his first graphic works during World War II, during which he spent as a prisoner. After the War, he sailed for Mandatory Palestine on an illegal immigrant ship. He arrived in Mandatory Palestine in 1947 and became a member of Kibbutz HaOgen, where he lived until his death.[1] In 1954, he studied murals and graphic techniques at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris. He also studied mosaics in Ravenna with Professor Severini. Weil died on February 20, 2009.
