Yisehak has a common theme seen in many of his paintings of strong horizontal and vertical lines. This is his explanation for these. The structure that holds everything together is the vertical and horizontal lines (the cross). The composition depends on it and the composed elements are set in and around it harmoniously. The vertical and horizontal lines so vividly seen in this painting represent two laws. Jesus, when asked which was the greatest of all the commandments? Answered by saying, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” (represented by the vertical). “The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' (horizontal), On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40 (Bible - New Testament)
