EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Luca Giordano's masterpiece, "Esau Selling his Birthright". Painted on canvas during the 17th century, this oil painting depicts a pivotal biblical story involving twin brothers Jacob and Esau. The cunning Jacob conspires with their mother Rebecca to deceive Esau and acquire his birthright. In the image, Rebecca stands between her sons, wearing a sly smile as she subtly signals Jacob with her foot. The composition is rich in detail and color, capturing the essence of the scene. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring life to each character and object portrayed. From the animals present - a cat and dog - to the furniture adorning an interior setting reminiscent of a pub establishment or tavern, every element contributes to the narrative. Giordano's work not only explores themes of religion but also delves into human nature. It highlights concepts such as dishonesty, manipulation, and betrayal while showcasing biblical personalities in a relatable manner. Preserved at Perth Museum & Art Gallery in Scotland, this remarkable artwork continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder's collection allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Giordano's talent and delve into profound biblical narratives through visual storytelling.
