Eliezer Zusman of Brody (alternatively, Elieser Sussman) was a Jewish painter credited with introducing the traditional East European type of synagogue decoration to southern Germany in the early eighteenth century. His signature style is found in several synagogues in Bavaria. Zusman may have been invited to southern Germany as a professional craftsman or might have gone there seeking a better life and refuge from instability in Poland. He painted his first synagogue, Bechhofen, in 1732.
