Mordecai Ardon (July 13, 1896 - June 18, 1992), considered one of Israel's greatest painters. Ardon was born in Tuchow, Galicia (then Austria-Hungary, now Poland), and immigrated to Palestine in 1933. One of his most famous creations are the Ardon Windows, a set of large stained-glass windows displayed prominently in the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem, incorporating visual elements from the Kabbalah.
