EDITORS COMMENTS
Le départ de Jacob - Jacob's Departure, by Bourdon, Sébastien (1616-1671) captures a profound biblical scene with exquisite artistry. Painted in oil on canvas and measuring 99x138 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the National Museum of Stockholm. The painting depicts the poignant moment when Jacob bids farewell to his family before embarking on a journey. With meticulous attention to detail, Bourdon skillfully portrays each character: the aged patriarch Isaac, surrounded by his wife Rebekah and their children. A camel stands nearby, laden with provisions for the arduous voyage ahead. This evocative artwork transports us back to ancient times and immerses us in the rich tapestry of Jewish history. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith and familial bonds depicted within religious texts. Bourdon's mastery of baroque art shines through in every brushstroke. The composition is filled with symbolism; ruins symbolize impermanence while animals like horses, goats, sheep, and cows represent sustenance during travel. A serene river meanders through the background—a metaphorical representation of life's flowing currents. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the 17th century French artist Sébastien Bourdon, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and space—connecting us deeply to our shared human experiences.
