EDITORS COMMENTS
Jacob's Sons Must Leave Simeon in Egypt Until They Return with Benjamin" is an enigmatic etching from the 18th century, created anonymously and attributed to German artist Georg Balthasar Probst. This evocative work of art depicts a poignant scene from the Old Testament's Book of Genesis, as Jacob's sons prepare to leave Egypt with their father, but are forced to leave Simeon as a hostage to ensure the safe return of Benjamin. The image is set against a backdrop of a grand, stone building exterior, with horse-drawn vehicles and chariots lining the road. Jacob, a wise and aging patriarch, stands at the center, his face etched with concern as he bids farewell to his sons. Simeon, a young man with a determined expression, is left behind, flanked by two women who offer him words of comfort. The etching is rendered in intricate detail, with the use of watercolor adding depth and texture to the scene. The colors are rich and vibrant, evoking the warm hues of the Egyptian landscape and the cooler tones of the European countryside. The overall effect is one of both beauty and tension, as the viewer is left to ponder the complexities of family dynamics, loyalty, and the challenges of travel in the 18th century. This work of art is a testament to the enduring power of the Bible as a source of inspiration for artists throughout history, and a reminder of the universal themes of love, loss, and the bonds of family that transcend time and place. The "Jacob's Sons Must Leave Simeon in Egypt Until They Return with Benjamin" etching is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, religion, or the human condition. This beautiful and thought-provoking piece can be found in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a treasure trove of Dutch and European art from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Whether you are a scholar, a collector, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of art, this etching is sure to leave a lasting impression.
